i told my step-dad about dropping in a 3sgte engine into my coupe. his response was to just get a brand new car. i've been thinking about it and its been leaning to getting a new car. its so hard to get parts for our celi's and the coupe makes it even worst. and theres not enough power for me to feel happy about. just wanted to share my thoughts with you and i'd like to hear from you. what would you do????

you in Cali right? if so, forget about the engine swap cuz you won't be able to get it registered once dmv finds out about the swap. The 2nd Gen 3S-GTE's available for USDM are from MR2's which are older than the 6TH Gen (hence, you can't swap one legally in CA), the 3RD Gen 3S-GTE's (ST205 GT4) JDM's can't be swapped in either as it was not available here.. I say if you live in another state - definitely do the 3S-GTE swap  Buy a GT4 front clip and have fun.. If you are in Cali and want to stay legal - sell it and get a different car (because the 7th gen is fugly).BUT for out of State Peeps - I say hell, DO the 3rd Gen 3S-GTE SWAP! A low mileage 3S-GTE (from JDM) installed + new vacuum tubes, belts, shocks, paint job should run around 5-7K or so.. Once you replace the engine, you'll probably have another 200K miles before it goes broke again (it's a toyota after all).. Best of all, it not only looks fast, but is indeed fast And besides - a new car altogether will cost you at least 19K + increased vehicle license fee's + higher insurance.. Oh yeah, and the Celica is one damned sexy car (and one can argue that it's interior is one of the best around).. G This post has been edited by funks: Jun 20, 2003 - 5:04 PM |
