im now wondering what trans comes with the celica alltrack, and if i could use the bellhousing on a r154.
Having that 3S in there is one way of reducing the weight by quite a bit. if you did major stuff to the rest of the car you could have a pretty light rocket
From what I read in Formula One news years back, when Toyota first decided to join F1, V12's were allowed. Toyota like Ferrari were the only manufacturer to design and build their own
V12 engine. Then F1 changed the rules and only allowed v10's...And Toyota had to change to a V10.
But I am sure Toyota would not waste all that R&D, money and technology that went into the V12 for nothing. The Japs do not like to waste money. They will find a purpose for that engine.
Cheers,
Roy

EDIT: Isn't the Altezza deemed the IS300 over here? And didn't it have a 2jzge in it?

when Toyota joined Formula One Everyone was running a V10 engine The Regulations have since then switched to running V8 The engine must last two races also. The old Rules were one Race. You can run a V10 but they Have an enforced Rev Limit instead of what the engine is capable of which render's them quite useless.

Actually i am pretty sure they had both depending on what you bought.
It is only recently that Toyota has offered the 4cyl version here with a 4-wheel drive the IS250. The Altezza in Japan originally did not have 4-wheel drive though that is something new
The original altezza had three motor options the 3s-ge, 1g-fe and the obvious to most 2jz-ge
The original Altezza wagon was 4wd

bout damn time is what i say!
i've been yakking on and on about the 1GZ for a while now. Pity it's an FE engine and not a GE engine....but then again the 1GZ was never built with performance as the top priority.
