New guy here! (with '84 Toyota Celica Gts to mod ... instead of driving Suburban)

[Sporty Modder]

Cash flow is a problem.
The motor is stock as far as I can tell.
I would love to put some light weight rims on this guy but what is makeing that difficult is the offset being +8 as most fwd cars run a 0 offset pulling the tires to far into the wheelwells.
I was thinking about trying to find a set of 205/.70 r14 for this little car 1/2" taller 3/4" narrower

If I "needed" louvers in the back I'd get the ones that go UNDER the glass.

Haha louvers under the glass wont do much for shading the back window.

[Frank Lee]

What do you mean? Of course they shade, that is what they are for.

If aero is what you seek, I don't think topside louvers are in your best interest. They may not hurt enough to notice though.

[Sporty Modder]

Cool thanks for the info.

[Sporty Modder]

So I dumped about 25 lbs out of the car today. Just a bunch of garbage and other crap. Old moldy floor mats, rusted tire chains andsome old engine parts.

If I can come up with the cash I am going to replace the two back windows with polycarbonate as well as the rear window.

How much weight will that save and how much more mpg will it get?

[mikehallbackhoe]

your money will be better spent making sure it runs good with a tune up if it needs it, new tires, and pump them up to max psi on sidewall. then build yourself a grill block. these things will give you the biggest mpg gains. the 22r engine is a very reliable engine, nice find.

[Sporty Modder]

From what I estimate about 75 lbs. Dont know how much mpg but less weight means less power to move.
