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

The 5S-FE is also an economy engine, just with less economy and a little more power than the 7A-FE. The amount of work it'd take wouldn't be worth it, as it'd be much easier and cheaper to just buy a GT. They use different transmissions. The ST has a C series transmission, and the GT has a S series transmission. As far as worthwhile swaps go you have the 1MZ-FE V6 which is easily found here in the states. You have the red top BEAMS 3S-GE which would have to be imported. You also have the 3S-GTE which in its second generation was used over here in the MR2 Turbo and Celica All-Trac, then the third generation which was used in the 6GC GT-Four and would have to be imported. All of those engines can utilize the GT's S series transmissions. When it comes to swapping the GT is a little easier to work with. That being said there is the 4A-GE in 20 valve varieties that'll work with the ST, but those have to be imported. Also the 4A-GZE used in the supercharged MR2 which could be found over here, but there's really not much out there on it for swapping into our cars. Keep it around as a daily driver that gets good gas mileage and save tearing up with streets to your Mopars.
