6G Celicas Forums

Haha, thanks for the infor guys. Definitely makes sense. You guys in the UK and AU get some sweet gas, while "premium" where I live is 91 octane. I'm also glad others have taken the time and $$ to do that experiement

Hey everyone,

Noob question here, so bear with me, since I couldn't find anything through searching. Just wondering what kind of fuel you guys put into your celicas. I realize that anyone with a swapped or Turbo'ed 6G obviously uses Premium, but what about those of you running 5SFE or 7AFE engines? I would think using a higher octane fuel would increase performance a bit, but does it? Or is it dangerous for the engine? Any more importantly, is it even worth it with the rising cost of gas... Thanks!

Sorry, I must of missed your thread somehow, 6gsillyca. Forwarding some of the PM"s would be great, since it's pointless to have two of the same WTB threads going; no point in clogging up the forum. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to possibly buy a 3SGTE swapped 6G this summer (i/e in July). I know it seems early to post about this, but since they are rather rare, I figured I should get a head start.

If possible, I'm looking for one a black hatchback (but post anyways if you have a differenc color). Preferably little to no modifications on the swapped engine. And no rust/ as clean as possible. If you are selling one now, or in the near future, please show me what you have.

I would be bringing the car back to Vancouver, Canada, so preferably I would get one from somewhere on the west coast.

I am willing to spend around around 6-7k, USD, since tax is going to cost alot to bring over the border. Thanks alot

We don't get GT4's in Canada. We got all tracs, but they're expensive and rare, and 5th gen. I actually live in Thunder Bay Ontario right now, and have for about 5 years, but I'm going to university at SFU (in Vancouver). When I move back, you can bet I'll be combing the autotrader! Thanks alot for the imput, guys.

Thanks alot, yea that "feasible engine swap" sticky in the other forum was very very useful! I'm certainly gonna look for GT, but I could not stand to drive auto (no offense to anyone). Even though I'm a relatively new driver, I can't stand the feeling of not being able to grab the gears.

Hey everyone,

I just joined, and I firstly wanted to say that it's great to find a community devoted to celicas. I've always loved them, and I'm looking to buy my own 6G next year, and hopefully to swap in a 2nd or 3rd gen 3S-GTE. I'm currently entering grade 12, and while I know im a youngin, I am definitely NOT into the whole rice/ street racing scene that alot of idiots my age are. Anyways, I've been searching alot of buy/sell sites such as autotrader.ca (I'm canadian) and many of the celicas I see are auto. In fact, I could find barely an that were not auto, and I was wondering why that is. The ones I could find in standard were all more expensive (as I'd like ot pay under 10g's if possible, to allow as much money for the swap). Anyways, I was just hoping to get the imput of all you more experienced guys...if I could get some info as to why/ where to look, that'd be great. Hopefully I'll learn alot from this site, so as to be as prepared as possible for my first project car. Thanks.
