Hi guys,
I've decided that I'm keeping my Celica (st204) and will very likely be looking at doing an engine swap. I was thinking a beams red top but then it seems like a 3sgte will be the easier option from what I've read. I've read that the standard 5SFE manual tranny should handle it but I did see conflicting posts on this. I'm planning on keeping it as a daily driver and just wanted something a bit quicker. Has anyone in Sydney, Australia done this swap before and know a shop that has done the job before? There's an ST205 half cut for sale at the moment but I won't have the cash for another few months, as I'm planning on installing coilovers and a few other things in the coming months before finding someone to do the swap. Thanks |
