Hey I just joined ive been drooling over the boards for about a week now. I just bought a 96 celica ST which I love to death. Im interested in either upgrading it some or swaping the engine *thought it will take me forever to get the money*. Im not particularly experienced with cars but im tryna learn. Would you all sugest saving for a swap or a catback change? I cant figure what to do. Also how much do you really think I will spend on a swap and can someone without huge experience figure out how to do it you imagin? Thanks

A Catback upgrade is ALOT different than a swap. If your going to do the swap urself it takes alot of know how and if u pay someone its going to take alot of money not to mention the engine and u have an ST so ur going to have to get a clip so ur looking at 4,000 for a swap opposed to getting 12-17hp outta doing a catback. Thats kinda like, do i wanna get a bag of chips, or a four course meal. The catback will hold u over, but u'll end up wanting more later.
