6G Celicas Forums

alright so heres the deal...ive had my 94 GT for 3 years now and have always wanted to make it like the ones i see on this site. However its a 210xxx miles and the engine is finally startin to crap out. I tried to start it last night and usually it starts right up and now its cranking but not starting!! . I just want some opinions on what you guys would do in this situation. Is it time for a new car?( maybe another 6g celi) or just a reason to do the gt-four front end swap . I know a clip will provide all the engine stuff but what else am i looking at having to do to the car because its at such high miles. any input appreciated. Am i digging my own grave holding on to my first car ? lol

i have 354k on my 94 and it has its days, but i would do what you feel you want to do.

If you have the money and the rest of the car is in good condition, i say get the front clip. But if the rest of the car is taking a crap like the motor then you might be better off buying another celi

EKAn is right. A motor swap will fix your engine problems, but what about the suspension? Bushings? Bearings? Overhauling the entire car might just be too much of an issue. Or you might get lucky and the car could be in great shape and a motor swap would solve everything.

You said this is your first car? I know I've gotten to the point with my Celica(s) that cost/maintenance/repairs aren't even a concern anymore. I've got one, I'm rebuilding everything, and I don't care how much more I spend on the car than what it is actually worth.

My suggestion: Buy mine. Good luck with your decision.

id buy another one. i own 3 of them, cant get enuff

my suggestion is pour sugar in the oil, then sell me the shell for 200bucks..

HAhaha. Sounds like good unbiased advice. Im actually curious what you decide to do cause im looking a a celi with about that many mi on it already. Some say they're as reliable as the universe and just never stop going.
