Well, I sent her to the mechanic for the 3sgte today. I miss her already, but I have to say, I am excited. These are going to be a long few weeks.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

Are you bracing/reinforcing the chassis at all?


J-speed side tower connectors and a strut tower bar. I contemplated welding custom sub-frame connectors on the bottom of the car along the sides but recently found out that the subframes are completely connected already. In that way, the convertible celica is unlike convertible Mustangs and Camaros that are often strengthened with subframe connectors because of chassis or cowl flex. As of right now, I am of a mind that it will be stiff enough. There are at least two 5th gen owners on celica.net that have convertibles with the swap with no reported problems that I know of.
