sorry if this is in the wrong forum ..... if i bought a 6 gen gt-4 from japan that had a blown engine, and i bought a 3sgte from an american car would i be able to put the 3sgte in the gt-4 and have a legal car? just curiuous becuase awd + 3sgte + 6 gen is just awsome lol.

Problem isn't really the motor, but the chassis itself since it's never been crash tested so no, it wouldn't be legal.
o yeah sorry lol i didnt read it afterwards
maybe you should have asked the question before you bought the car lol

the answer is it isnt the motor thats the problem, its the chassis... and i dont think he bought it yet uz.

you can do it, but there's work to be done, not much though.

Option 1: You can get the shell, put in a US 3sgte and just swap VIN #'s with your current celica. But then you're left with a US RHD celica.

Option 2: The same as the above, but instead of leaving it RHD, also swap the dash and anything else required to make it LHD. Which would include the stearing colum, peddels, ect...


*I might have spelled something wrong, bu i just woke up, so that's my excuse*
thats not legal but i wouldent get caught rihgt? and i could regiister it with insurance as the vin number i put on

hmmm... i might have a project in a couple years....
lol, he's telling you the illegal ways...love it

think a cop would care when he has to walk to the other side of the car?
OR you could just buy a eurospec LHD shell >rolleyes.gif>

however you do, it wont be legal, and theres no guarantee you wont get caught and get your car impounded indefinatly.
