Newbie with a 95 Celica Options

[95Celica5Spd]

Hey Guys,
I have a 95 Celica ST with 1.8 and 5 Spd has over 200K miles and its all original
I would like to get to know about it like what particular motor and all I have and how to find out it all
Then begin to do some mods to it
I have had it over a year and other than doin the front spindles and putting 7th gen celica wheels with new tires on it and other odds and ends to get runnin and driving nice.
Most of the underhood stuff has been replaced just need to do a drive belt and will be all new parts

This is my first Celica and newer car as I usually drive and work on old Dodge and Plymouths like my 74 360 Dart Swinger and 73 340 Duster so not all up on good parts sources and mods to do to my car to make it perform well

Also How do I post pics?

Thanks for any and all help

Welcome, Lots of great info on this site. Just look at all the sticky's at the top of each page. You can also use search to find almost anything but here is a start for you . http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=47845

Thanks For the link. I have tried to use the search feature but it is terrible

The ST uses the 7A-FE engine. Not much you can do with it performance wise, it is an economy engine in all senses of the word. Just think of it as the highest quality, best handling, and best looking economy car ever made.

How hard would it be to swap in a better engine like a 2.2 out of a 97 GT. Would my current 1.8 trans bolt in? What else would I need to make the 2.2 a bolt in motor? Read something about needing my current engine harness and the 2.2 harness and you send it to somebody and they make it work and send it back to you to use
