    Default early 80s celica/supra experts, i have a question

    Hey guys can you tell me what the difference is in engine bay length for both these car around 1983 year model. is the extra length forward of the strut towers or behind them.

    cheers
    Pete

    Pete no expert but I think you'll find the lenght is between the strut and the firewall hence longer wheel base, same as the 22/23 celicas. the Supra front is longer in front of the strut as well more for cosmetic reasons ie: big bumper flat style pop up head lights

    Cheers Dave.

    Correcto, it's behind the strut tower.
