hey haven't been in here for a long time.....but yeah my motor at RS motors right now getting it swapped in....hopefully everything runs right.....but we should have a mid spring or early summer meet or something...and welcome to you bccentaur3....
Hey how much is your motor going to cost to get swapped in? I can not tell you guys how excited I am about getting this celica. This beats the crap out of my honda.

i want this cold weather to go away rolleyes.gif due to my motor not being original and i have no idea how many miles are on it, im thinking about scrapping the turbo project. However my buddies may have found me a 3s i can get cheap so im gonna look into that. I wanna get a meet going sometime in the spring. and maybe a night up at Brainerd this summer.

oh yeah theres a celica for sale up here in princeton if any of you need one.

ST Hatch
buttload of miles and a few dings and dents
it would be good for a project car if your current one isnt

-Brian
Hey I found a 3s motor on craigs list for 995. I dont know if it came with axles or anything. Do you even need axles if we use our 5s tranny? Yeah I hate the cold weather too.

the complete swap is $850 with the old motor out already. hopefully it'll be done soon...just called them yesturday and the said the motor is all put together already so i gonna go in on friday to see if its true. but a 6gc will out run a honda non vtec...but if it has vtec then its a different story...
damn that's pretty good deal 850. are they doing your piping too?
I'm thinking of selling the car! 99GT 60,000 miles! Warranty! $10,000!

Yeah they are doing the IC piping and the exhaust piping too....almost every thing that a swap needs.
Where did you buy the motor?

I regret because it costed $3000 just for the motor itself when i could of bought a whole front clip...but i was dumb and was in a hurry to get that motor....and what ever you guys do, dont ever buy from toysport because they are really shady....made me pay for the pallet that the motor was on...lol...
LOL yeah thats pretty messed up man. I am totally serious about ordering the st185 front clip this summer. How come there aren't that many minnesotans on here?

just found all the parts i need to fix it smile.gif itll still be red when im done but i could only find the 96+ bumper so thats gonna be the only real change.

Isuzu Rodeos and Honda Passports (they are evidently the same thing) are a very bad thing to run into. his bumper went over mine and took out everything and then to top it all off his exhaust impaled my blinker.
now this kinda thing is why im starting to hate the winters weve been having.

good news about all this tho is that i saved about $2000 so far because im fixing it myself

-Brian
i hate you guys for having celicas! hopefully ill have everything read to go by June..now i just need a celica...already have the jdm goodies! was thinking about buying a scion but insurance will rape me if i buy a new car so im going back to my old routes! smile.gif

Good to hear man. What are you going to do with the extra money?

well im paying out of my pocket since i have liability only so the "extra" money is going to college and a 3s swap.
i still have to pay for the other guys bumper cover. yeah , just the cover lol.

the black one is a coupe..didn't like it at all..

the red one is a peice of junk!...i called the guy and he said it was like brand new...i went to check it out and it had rust and the fenders and front bumper colors didn't match...ask the guy and he said it he bought it off a wholesale/auction and fixed it up...the brakes sqeek and ugh so many things wrong with it...it's been there for like ever...

anyways i've checked all carsoup, autotrader, and cars.com and they had nothing... frown.gif

i knew i shouldn't of sold my last celica! it was by far the cleanest ever! i regret it so much...
