Hey there, fellow gearheads! If you're diving into a project with your 1988-1992 Toyota Celica or 1991-1995 MR2, you’re gonna want to check out this ARP Head Stud Kit. Seriously, this isn’t just any old kit; it’s built for those who really care about getting the best out of their engines.

Let’s break it down. These studs are made from 8740 chromoly, which is a fancy way of saying they’re tough as nails. You’ll appreciate that when you’re pushing your engine hard. Plus, they’ve got a slick black oxide finish that not only looks good but also helps resist corrosion. No one wants rust creeping into their engine bay, right?

Now, I know what you're thinking: “What’s the deal with the fasteners?” Well, these are 12-point head studs, which means they’re designed for better grip and torque accuracy. You won’t be fumbling around with stripped heads here. And yeah, washers are included, so you don't have to hunt those down separately.

One thing to note: these studs are cut to fit, meaning you won’t be messing around trying to make them work. They’re designed specifically for the 3SGTE engine in the Celica and MR2, so you know they’ll fit like a glove. Just make sure you’re working with the right models—no surprises there!

In short, if you’re looking to boost your engine’s reliability and performance, this ARP Head Stud Kit is a solid choice. It’s built for enthusiasts who know what they want and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Happy wrenching!

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
