Curb in reverse ...FAIL....neutral to reverse FAIL....mr. grape in a celica FAIL...just buy yourself a geo at this point...if you break it a new one is 100 dollars.

i dont mean to sound like a dick here but take it from personal experience on SC300 with 1jz and 2jz swaps. THEY ARE A ****ING MONEY PIT!!
if your complaining about the maintance one your celica be prepared on the maintance for a SC300 with a swap. not to mention if the guy did a ****ty job at swapping the motors your looking at wiring and other electrical crap to deal with. the 5spd diffs/trannys that came with the SC300 stock are pieces of **** and break way to easy under power/abuse. also since you live in CA be prepared for smog. these cars will not pass smog unless its been thru the carb system which i highly doubt. so i hope you have a smog hookup that will look the other way. |
