Well, i've been doing some thinking, and i could pretty much swap my 3S-GE UK Celica GT for a 5GC ST-185 GT-4.

Pretty much same price, same insurance etc.

What would you do if you had the choice? I've never really considered one before, but i didn't know they were same to insure as mine. (ST-205 is about double insurance cost of my GT so can't really afford one)

If anyone has any sweet pics of ST-185's then i'd like to see them.

Plus the insurance in the UK on engine swapped cars is more than on a GT-4

keep the GT and save up for a ST205. ST185s are alright..but i hate the old inteirors and the way the dash is layed out. I say keep your car now Luke. It looks good, and just spend a bit more time and $ on it and sell it for a good $.

is this going to be a daily driver? if so i say keep the current celica.

ST185 are a pain in the ass to do any type of work not to mention the maintance on them is a pain in the ass also.
