Well everyone I think my Celica is going to either be traded in, fixed, or I might just get a new car.
 This past friday I came home around 5am from my b/f's house and when i pulled into my drive way I heard this "panging/ratteling" from the engine bay. If I were to describe it it's like the sound that a roller coaster makes when it's pulling you up the first hill. I took it into 'Yota' on Sat. and left it there for the wknd and I just got word from a family friend that works in the garage that 'Yota' is going to tell me I need a new engine. My friend that works there told me that his friend has an engine he could sell me for $800-$1200 with 60k on it. I believe it's just a 7afe though. I'm waiting on Toyota to call me back, so we'll see what they diagnosed. What do you all think? Is it finally time to move on and get a new car? Possibly an IS300 or a Saab Aero.  Don't really know yet.I know everyone is going to say get a 3sgte right?! This post has been edited by CelicaQT: Oct 31, 2005 - 10:40 AM |

a car is more then its motor. start doing research and put another motor into it. a 3sgte swap is a great way to bring the car to life!
