Well the engine didn't make it to the 1000 mile mark after my friend and I rebuilt it.. It sounds like something happened with the bearings again.... mostly likely because we didn't machine down the crank or consider putting oversized bearings in it...
so now i'm trying to figure out what to do... I am VERY low on money and may have my parents help pay so not sure what the best option would be.. I'd love to have a 3sgte but i'm not a racer and my friend really thinks that'd be a waste of money... but now I just want to get this thing running like new.. no more of this partially fix it so it still makes noises and worries me every time i drive it... so wondering what you all honestly think.. If you can, please let me know how much you all paid for swaps or engine installs if you took them to a shop.. since my friend now has a full time job and wouldn't be able to help me do this work... Thank you everyone :-) -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

5S, or 5s-fte
With how much you talk about not speeding and not racing a 3sgte just doesnt seem your style at least. With the direction that your going with your car, body kit, air ride, basicly showing it, a 3s would just be overkill. Consider the 1mz tho? DTE -------------------- I am a thief.
