6G Celicas Forums

Lucky...I've only seen like 5 other 6gcs period...let alone 3s swaps. My celi will be the first 6gc 3s swap I've seen. I mean of course I've seen 3s's in Mr2's and other alltracs/GT FOURs (including mine) but as far as 6gcs go, no love in the NW.

Love to see this all completed.
Put some pictures up - how the car is now and then the finished product.

Nice start. Good choices on the parts.
Good luck man - keep us updated.

this is what she looks like right now.. ahh how things will change





i also have SS-III replica splittters for it (already painted) and OEM side skirts that i bought off of dustin and stef. ill get pics later (skirts still need to b fitted and painted)

little update. water pump and timing belt is just about done, just need to put the tension peice back in place, then bundle it back up, throw the alternator and a/c pump back on and will be a few steps closer to the ultimate goal!

Nice lookin car

wow nice color we have the exact same coupe / color.... good luck man

yes and no lol. my car was the same color as yours when i got it, but bc the clear coat was pealing on the hood/roof/trunk, i repainted it a mustang charcole color. so it is but it isnt haha


btw i like the rims on ur coupe .. im lookin to get some bbs's in the future probably.

so today my IC piping finally came in, im pretty happy about that. i ordered two 2.5" IC piping kits that way i kno i have plenty lol theres more then enough to get the job done, in total i have 4x180* bends 4x90*bends 4x45*bends and 4xstraight pipe. its plenty, i just didnt want to not have enough lol.

as for the motor itself, havent had time to go out the garage and work on it, so much hw from school and work gets in the way too lol. ill keep u guys updated as things come.

Are the skirts u bought from dustin red?

nope, the red ones are on my Beams, he bought a set of green ones I picked up a while back

^what he said lol

Glad to know a part of my celica lives on!

ha i see... mine is started that getting to the point of needed repainted now.. but thnkx on the rims i paid 100.. for them from a friend who was in need of cash..(steal)..... i was looking into new ones next year... was thinking the bronze dr-19 from drag 17"

sweet pick up dude.


small but big update for me, i finally got around to finish the timing belt and water pump, i installed the alternator and a/c pump back on as well. things r goin a lil slow for me right now, been really busy with school and work and finding time AND MONEY is tough lol.

but however.. only one more big part to get! my clutch! lol and a couple small things but no worries.. ill update u guys next chance i get. thanks for the comments!

Good luck.

hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, the project is on a lil bit of a hold right now until i get money for my clutch and some other little things.
only update i really have is i recieved my DCW single gauge pod the other day and it looks soo cool in person and resting on the dash lol cant wait to get that on with the boost gauge.

JUST ordered my stage 4 clutch from tweak! almost ready!

alrighttt so heres whats going on with the swap. the clutch came friday, but no one was home to recieve it there for it is supposed to come today, hopefully.

i finished fixing the crack in the oil pan, i used JB weld and im making a brace for the back side of the pan and will provide support for the crack when i bolt the tranny up.

so this week im going to put the flywheel and clutch on and get some oil and a filter and i think.. i think ill be ready to start the swap, gotta make a set date with some people so we can start the swap. a few weeks we will get this show on the roaddd, cant wait!

so today my clutch came in from Tweak, verrry excited for that! tomorrow im going to go out to the garage and make some plugs for some of the lines that i have open and do another recheck of the motor. should be swapping very soon.

but today i have some pics of some parts i have and that are goin on the car
