I'm thinking about starting over from scratch with a new Celica. It seems like a waste to paint over my paint job, which still looks pretty nice, and it'd be nice for another member to get a car with a 4A-GE in it.
Basically, I want to sell mine and drive my Nissan(which is almost back to normal and is definitely tolerable) until I find a cheap manual ST hatchback. Or possibly trade mine for a manual ST hatchback plus cash. Then I want to pull the engine, install my extensions and sideskirts, paint the car, put another 20V 4A-GE in(with a AT200 C52 and lightweight flywheel), wire it to use Megasquirt, and then install some KYB AGX shocks with Tein springs, and get some 15" lightweight wheels. Do you guys think this is a good idea? I'm really considering doing it. 
-------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Your going to sell your current swapped celi for another non-swap, go through the headache again, not know what kinda engine your going to get, work out the kinks, and put more money into it because you dont like the color?
Kinda seems like alot of trouble for something you kinda already have and been working on for awhile. -------------------- |
