my first engine option was a 2jzgte....... i drove two old schools with it 2JZGTE swaps and didn't like the feel.... it's like driving a TANK.... TOO FRONT END HEAVY................. THE POWER WAS TOTALLY COOL AND SCARY all at the same time.... and i WILL kill myself with that swap in it.........
oh and the celica is only around 1600 - 1800lbs.........
