[Soho]

Hey bros, i just happen to see this toyota celica today. it look nicely zhang and stuff. however the rear brake are drums . even altis and vios have rear disk brakes. a sport coupe have rear drum break anyone noe now much is its bhp??? is it fast?

[Landex]

u must go do more leesearch....

 

awtees n bios r nt in the same league...

[Soho]

ya... i noe... celica should be higher i guess??? but still having a rear drum brake but the car look super fierce when zhanged...

[Hoppie24]

No more in production leh, can only get second hand. The drum version is 140BHP

[Niteblu]

Hmmmm.

You have a misconception that Drum = Slow Car.

And that Rear Disc = Fast Car.

 

 

Sorry man. It doesn't apply anymore.

Not when rear disc brakes can be cheaply manufactured by the Koreans.

And Thais...

try the SS2

 

1.8l churn out 195bhp..

 

not sure abt the torque..

[Soho]

oooppss.. i noe.. i just think that fast car should have better braking system.

[Application9999]

the name say it all....ce_li_ca....:Silly..car

[YellowFlash]

theres 2 versions of celica, ss1 and ss2

 

both comes with 1.8L cept ss1 is the lower spec that produces 140hp, equipped with rear drums.

 

the ss2 comes with 185hp+/- due to the similar technology used in honda's vtec. called the VVTL-I. rear disc brakes as well, but then i dun think there are many ss2 around.

rear drum cars really cannot make it. even old EG civic have all round discs

[Qpik]

for this car, u dont even need to zhng it is already very nice. how compare to altis/vios?

[Bearbear1494]

Yah man. Even my dad's old 1978 Merc 200 also all-discs.

 

No lah, seriously, I believe that for certain cars (sports coupes included), drum brakes are sufficient for the rear. Probably due to lighter weight, less horsepower etc etc. Not to mention lower production costs. In any case, I've friends who own heavily modded cars still running on rear drums (albeit with uprated hoses & brake shoes) that can still brake faithfully & true even with the huge hike in HP. Depends on the car's setup I guess.

[Jerms]

how come you all have an idea that fast car means need disc brake? or good cars must have disc brake?

 

Its totally not true......

[Watwheels]

U must see when this car was launched mah.

[Adawang]

as long as can do the job well, its ok

neednt worry parachute brake, drum, disc, reverse thrust etc etc

[Testa_ross4]

Hmmm.....but I have never seen high performance cars with drum brakes.

[Slayer]

hmm.. u sounded as if the drum brake is not good enough in a celica?

 

what do u think, is rear disc brake an over kill on the some other cars? :)

Rear Brake drum means a joke?

 

Just look at most of the buses and lorries....front and rear also drum brake...thoes are really jokers then.

 

If drum brakes can stop a 10-tonne trailer...then it can also stop a 1ton celica!
