I was thinking about this the other day. I plan on swapping the redtop in the future. But how will we go about keeping the celica alive and running for many years to come like the ae86. I mean the aftermarket support for the celica is half of what honda civic and integra's have.
I was thinking that once I do my swap about buying about 2 engine gasket sets, so I can keep on rebuliding the engine every 150,000 miles. Of course a few years from now I will have another daily driver and the celica will be my weekend/fun car only, so that I dont put so much wear and tear on it. But what other things can I buy to keep the celica running for another 20 years. uhh water pump, spark, plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter, etc... and suspension I plan on getting megan coilovers, and the only wear on those will be the dampers, which you can purchase for $300 for the whole set, uhh what else??? -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Are you using the RAV4 for DD duty? If not, get rid of it and keep the MR-2 and Celica.

If I'm not in extremely dire financial situations, FOR LIFE! But for toy purposes, I plan on acquiring an FD RX7 and my dad will give me his AE86 when he moves back to Puerto Rico.
