Thanks for the warm welcome!! I have been looking through the forum for parts for the car since i'm wanting to upgrade on the looks and its performance... And as you know in the United States gt-four was never brought to us frown.gif So i was wondering what is the Limitations on of How far i can go with My Celica? and what are some good Trustworthy websites to find the cheapest parts??? Because i have been searching for the past 2 years for a site to by from but i wasnt so sure it they were trustworthy .. Thanks a lot >.< sorry for the long message..

It really depends how much money and time you have to put into the car. For an engine swap your look at at least 3,000$ but the car will be faster than most corvettes. You could turbo for under 3 grand but you wont get the HP gains. Usually the best place to start on a car is get it up to OEM spec like the day it rolled off the floor. Make sure the engine runs well, the brakes are in good working order, suspension,ect THEN look into upgrading further. Because you have a GT it makes a 3sgte engine swap much easier(you can keep the same tranny and axles). Just read through the stickies and get o the chat and im sure people would be more than welcome to help you out.
