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

This guy's a beginner. He's just learning about stuff he can do to his car. Bolt on's are the place to start, not engine swaps. What happens if he pays someone to do it for him, then something goes wrong? He'll have no clue how to fix it, or even what might be wrong. He needs to start simple, then learn about what his car can do, and what he can do to his car. He'll decide whether forced induction is the way to go for him; these toyota engines can go into the 200hp range being N/A. Sure, it'll cost a grip of money, but that's for him to decide.
