chanh ur funny man lol laugh.gif i want to reply to this thread also to let him know that buying a used celica and swapping in the 3S is still cheaper than buying a new civic Si but i cant seem to get that "confirmation e-mail"? oh and i hope he's not dissing on the 5sfte cuz im pretty sure he doesnt want manny over there tongue.gif

remy: dont get discouraged on buying a 6th gen man...sure its a bit on the sluggish side stock but with mods (usually boost) the 5sfe can be a beast. we actually have a member here who is doing 230hp 270tq on his 5sfte setup (manny is da man! lol) or u could always swap and have some serious power and potential.

So what if a 3S swap is cheaper than buying a new Civic Si, a 3S-swapped Celica isn't going to make it any better. Maybe in a straight-line, but other than that I can't think of anything else where the 3S-swapped Celica is better.

I actually agree with the so called "Celica hater" on the 5S-FE. It ain't a performance oriented engine, period.

well the swap celica will be faster and have more potential than the civic Si overall w/ a lower price tag. im not going to compare a turbo motor to an N/A motor but pure HP-wise the 3SGTE can be pushed further, cheaper. thats all i was saying. also...i've driven alot of civics from bone stock to swapped out ones (jersey is full of 'em and my co-workers are all civic heads) and i'd take my celica's handling anyday imho.

not dissing the Si so dont get me wrong...its a very nice car and i dont deny that.

More potential to torque steer. biggrin.gif It'll be faster in the straights, but in the corners it won't be.

5GC owner, but since it's powered by a 6GC engine, I'm here because of it. wink.gif A regular Celica's handling I like, but a 3S-GTE swapped Celica's handling I won't like.
