hey guys, my celica is getting a new motor at the time, but the place doing the work said they wanted to know which extra parts we want to replace, which would be quite an overestimate at the time. does anyone else see any of these parts to be way off estimate in price. clutch kit, 279. lower and upper radiator hose, 45 a piece. reseal kit, 355. timing belt, 244. waterpump, 170. ignition wires, 140. distributor cap and rotar, 95. carb gasket, 30. breather hose, 174. transmission seal, 110. temp-sending unit 75. oil sending, 80.... those are the extras that they want us to include. there is something else weird that says sub-replaced used engine with 2.0? im not sure what they are putting in my car, but we were quoted 2200 when starting and now they want 4500 for everything said and done. somehow this is very strange and seeming like its going to cost a lot more than quoted, what do you guys think about some of the prices they quote for the parts.

DO NOT use the 2.0 motor.
that would be a 3sfe. with even lower quality parts in the bottom end than the 5s. id pull the motor outta that shop. take the 3 k you were planning on spending, buy 5-600 worth of tools (including an engine lift) buy a used newer (97+ celica or camry) 5sfe for around 6-800 and do the swap yourself with the help of some local friends and hopfully 6gc members! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
