6G Celicas Forums

there are a few celica's here, using a sc12 or a eaton m45. not sureabout other possibilities

Dear members


My name is Ki ( prenounced key) and am one of the many celica lovers.
In my opinion one of the best cars i've ever driven.

i used to have a celica st185 2.0 3SGE

after returning from a vacation, i found this at my doorstep


after a moment of insanity, i found her:


the rims started to annoy me so i took the old ones


i get bored real quick


so after almost 1 year of having this car, i want to do something else, with this car.
some choose to do the looks first, i want to do the engine.

im browsing the web to find as much info as possible to do a head swap.
7afe bottom+4agze supercharged head= 7agze
replacing all pulleys with the lighter ones.
and making the enginebay parts: black/red/silver ish


when i first announced this , almost every body declared me insane.they suggested to do 3sgte swap.
the "down side" is that her in the Netherlands, almost evertbody who has a 1800 cc , is swapping it for a 3sg(t)e.
So i decided to try to be unique here. i don't want the bhp, my limit is 200/220 bhp. this because i dont want to replace any other parts. And
the most important reason, since i cannot drive due to whiplash ( last december ) my wife is transporting my most precious cargo


i pretty much found all parts ( used ) at one spot. He's helping me to complete the swap for under $1300,if i go higher, i'm better of swapping the whole car for a st202.



i'm sure im going to hit afew rough spots, thats whyim openfor suggestions and tips.

your issue isreally bothering me:S

is the whole car shaking or just the steering wheel

btw, just to be safe, you sure the coils are tightend?

I would raise the car and try again,
