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 |

[right][snapback]351012[/snapback][/right] Well I just might have to start thinking about selling the add-ons to my car. Wheels, fogs, tails...um that's about it really. lol I'm sad. QUOTE 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! Yes, but the question is do I have the time now. I think I'm just going to replace the existing motor with a low mileage 7afe and possibly keep it and buy a new car for reliability reasons now. I need to start growing up. lol I can't keep rolling up to GM in my Toyota and park in BFE bcus they only allow "GM Pride" vehicles in their parking lots! lol Sorry I'm just venting and caught off guard with what's happened.
