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

Think about it this way,...you're in a fast car and you roll by a honda with their long list of mods. I don't know if it is for their for show or for speed but no matter how much is put into it the car will not survive against you. Are you getting what i'm saying? This is just an example, I don't mean to put down honda's that bad but i do have respect for only a few of them.
Supersprynt offered you a good advice. As for HyperDeathKill,...the parts aren't an issue yet. Besides, how far is 94CelicaOwner wanting to push anyways? Plus, he's new so a load of 255HP+better airflow should relatively be more than enough for him to start out. |
