Hey there, so this is the start of a journey that begun over a year ago (but was kept on haiatus albeit)
Basically, I am turning my Aussie Delivered 1997 SX Celica into an 'SX6', basically the SSIII body with a 1MZ-FE fwd, an option that sadly wasn't offered as factory.

MODS SO FAR:
  • JDM HEADLIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS
  • Clear Side Indicators
  • Black Licence Plate Garnish
  • 1998 White Gauge Clusters, with orange glow
  • SSIII Grille and Badge
  • Kenwood Stereo, new speakers.

PROBABLE MODS:
  • 1MZ-FE Motor
  • LSD Gearbox (maybe)
  • 5x114 hubs
  • Lexus IS 17inch rims
  • Coilovers

I have a lot of research to do but I have seen a completed 1MZ Celica and it was a total rocket. I have the money to proceed, I just need to make it happen!

Will have an update soon, life has gotten in the way.
Finding a 1mz with low enough kms is proving time consuming.

Have you thought of seeing if a 3mz is open too? I think you can run a 3mz on 1mz electronics; but you'll be missing out on one or two things.
Or just somehow find a 2gr haha.
