by now we have a few members on here that did the 3sgte swap and about a million that dream about having it.
for all those who have a 3sgte in their fwd, tell us all the things you like and all the things you dont like about the 3sgte. please describe in detail your 1st impressions, street racing, and daily driving in your swapped celica and compare it to how things were before you got the swap. include pics and videos if you can!  -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

yeah so I could further humiliate myself by showing the rest of the world what god-awful sounds my car makes... Here's the sound of turning a corner and taking off:
Idle: chug chug chug..KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK (sound of my exhaust pipe hitting cuz the engine is running too rough).. Turning a corner: rrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOW *SCRREEEECH* (power steering growling and squeeking). Taking off: vvvvvvvrrroooooooOOOOOOMMM KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK GUH GUH GUH *CHIRP* vroooooooOOOOOM PSSSSSH I really gotta tune the fuel curve on this thing. The idle is horrible and combine that with lightweight flywheel and stiff pressure plate and it makes it difficult to take off sometimes. - aba |
