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

Yeah I looked into the supercharger but it looked like 2,500 which seemed a lil expensive vers the parts for the new engine being 1,600 however if I need new holding brackets for the engine it may kill me to upgrade I guess. Guess ill work on a few speed mods and mostly body for now. Just a lil background im 17 I go to highschool and I have been working a job since I was 14 doing computer repair *thats how I afforded my celica
* I looked all over the net for about 4 months before I finaly found one I liked and died to get it. Who else lives in VA anyways?
