ok people, i finally got me my gem. 1800 5 speed tf, and look very nice indeed, pics will be sent in soon. But i am not a very avid motor type guy, in fact i know nothing at all, so i am after a bit of help. i want to put a weber on it but am not sure of what sought of weber to get, as i said it is 1800 motor, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated. also once the weber is on it i want to connect up a unifilter air filter, i realise that i can not exactly put it in place of the old shitty stock filter so i will have to run a tube from the carby to somewhere and hook the filter on to the tube, but where is the best place to place the filter, i was thinking in front of the behind the cooler, as air would be cold and somewhat presurised, but really i dont know, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated also. and last of all where can i pick up a set of 95/96 celica back and front seats to fit into my baby, i have tried every where practically in adelaide but cant seem to find any.......... thanks all.

i wouldnt bother so much with the filter and turbing... the benefit from this is arguable...

save your money and ask ben wight bout his carby turbo setup, much better value for money and the air really will be pressurised!

Also the air behind the radiator is not cold and definatly not pressurised.. if you wanna place a cold air intake then its better of heading direct into the wind on the front of the car where the movement of the car will compress the air slightly... read www.autospeed.com articles if you want heaps of info they seem to like that stuff
