hi everyone,
I am new to the boards, i've been lookin here for about a month, but I just joined today.. I am still 15 and planning on getting a 6th Gen Celica GT for my first car.. I dont know what year yet, but I want the hatchback. Anyway, Ive been looking into the 3S-GTE swap idea, and it looks like it might be a bit time consuming and costly but I really wanna do it. I have a few questions for those of you who have swapped the Celica GT engine with a 3s-gte. My dad is big into cars and hes rebuilt engines 5 or 6 times. Also my neighbor is a big hotrod fan and just bought an engine lift, so i can borrow his when i need it..

-What are the exact parts needed to do a swap (engine, transmission, fuel pump)?
-What is the best transmission to use with the 3S-GTE?

If I were to do most of the work myself (with help from my dad, neighbors) how much would this cost me?

Last, I am not very comfortable paying over 2k to some company over the internet for a front clip (i have a fear that it might not ever get here) and I was just wondering what is the best site overall to order from (price, customer service, shipping times) ?


Thanks for your help,
Rob A.

hey, im 15, iv'e had the car for 2 years...

What the f???. At what age do you get your license over there? In my country you have to be 18. I find it very weird for 15 year olds to drive cars and stuff but have to wait until they are 21 to drink beer.

it depends on the state your in some you can get a permet at 14 and a full license at 16 other is 16 then 18.. and the laws chance all the time from state to state.. and the true is the same with the drinking law.. the drink age for the US is 18 but and state can make it old then that.. but not younger..
