Here is a description of the car:
94 Celica GT, JDM 3sgte st185, Black with gold graphics and aluminum spoiler. About 130,000 kms on the body, and about 700Km's on the new motor. No rust or dents. JDM 3sgte St185 Motor custom motor mounts (I ordered the motor Jspec Auto from Montreal with under 50,000miles on it) E153 Tranny (mr2 tranny) converted to work with motor in front Huge Spearco intercooler with custom pipings 2.5'' full custom exhaust system with Magnaflow High Flow CAT XTD stage 3 Racing clutch kit manual boost controller set at 12PSI Fuel cut defense module set at 16PSI Apexi N1 Turbo Exhaust Custom short Ram Intake with KN FILTER Brembro drilled rotors PBR Brake pads HKs super sequential BOV (very loud and sound very sick) Ac tech. mirror boost and air/fuel guages Black/gray racing seats w/sparco Racing Harness 17'' ADR GT SPORT custom powder coated bronze with Avons tires Ungo Alarm Full Veilside style body kit Custom Gold alumiminum spoiler Full Side graphic Gold color Suspen. Tech. Lowering springs/ newer oem struts New plugs, rotor cap, rotor, Trd ignition wires. White guages with ALuminum bezel Sony Cd/mp3 player, rockford amp, 12'' Type R, Battery relocated to the back trunk Car used to be automatic and converted to 5spd. I got this car on the road couple months ago, (took me over a year to complete this swap) Motor came with under 50,000Miles on it, and I put about 700'km's on it, If you are a toyota fan and know about toyota, you'll know the 3sgte is swap is rare and 3sgte is one of toyota's best engines. Engine run beautifully and boosting around 12psi I say the project is like 90% done, If someone wants to complete this project, what needs to be done is clean up the motor and dress it up, clean out the turbo and lines. Good for the winter project.

Is there anything i should be looking out for? Ive been reading up in celicas a lot lately and im in love with em. this one seems perfect. please give me your input on it. Thanks!

What scares me is the 90% done. Usually, this means that the car is not running right and the owner either (a) doesn't know why, or (b) he knows why but it costs too much to fix and still get money out of it. Either way, buying the car is a big risk. My car will be running perfectly when I sell it some day.
