So lets say money is an object, that I personally value greatly. Let's also assume that I don't want to cut corners and would prefer send the work out......
A right hand drive Celica makes me wet... And a nice blow off is orgasmic... Would it be cheaper to get a Celi with a good body and then get a 205 half cut *if I could find one* and then have the 205 motor and RHD dealio put in or would it be cheaper to import the King Celica (GT-4)? Searching for prices, someone on this site said about 12 grand to import the 4... any truth to that? As far as a motor swap and a conversion goes, theres is a guy, Jeremy Blackwell, www.speedforsale.com , who dropped in a 2JZ into an S14 and did an RHD conversion.... I am looking for the best balance of quality and price.... the bang for the buck thing... Positive and/or informative oppinions only... thanks, in advance  ***EDIT*** Doesn't matter if its AWD or FWD, long as its got a turbo and I gotta shift with the left hand This post has been edited by rudeboy3d: Jun 25, 2006 - 1:47 PM -------------------- 1987 Celica ST (RIP) 1st car too

gt4s are not cheep. Looking at ebay/auctions in the uk converting pounds to dollars its usualy ending up being close to 13k-17k for a decent gt4. Plus importing one to the states and then after all the taxes and everything... Its not going to be cheep. 12k ..... youll need a little more than that.
If you really dont care too much for the awd. Getting a st205 clip and swapping everything over would be much cheeper. -------------------- BANNED!
