to anyone who has done a 3sgte swap into a 6th gen...


how bad is that lack of traction now that you are making much more power? do you ever wish that you had just bought an awd/turbo car insted of doing the swap?

i think im starting to get a better understanding of what the celica is like with a 3sgte.

now on to the 2nd part of my question. if you had to do it all over again, would you have swapped or just bought an awd+turbo car with the same hp?
the reason why im asking this is that i have plans to swap this summer, but i want to make sure that if i do this, then i will be 100% satisfied with spending all that money on my car. i dont want to go ahead a just do it, and later wish that i had bought something like a WRX, GSX or 5th gen Alltrac, to satisfy my power needs.

i know we are all in love with the celica, but im just trying to look at this from all sides and not let my emotions rule my decision.

Keep in mind that AWD cars will have a better launch, but at higher speeds, they'll start to drag. FWD and RWD will put down more to the wheels. Trust me, you'll be happy with this swap and it is fast. Mod for mod, I'll still smoke a DSM. wink.gif

Now if the WRX were an option... or an STI even... I say go with that. But if you want something that is rare and not very common, do the swap.
