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.

i was told by my uncle who is a jag mechanic that using the 2.0L engine which i would beleive to be the 3sfe as well, that the engine management system wouldnt work anyway cause of the displacement. so unless they reprogrammed the ecu wouldnt the engine just not work because the fuel injection system would be way off and the compression would be lower than factory? also wouldnt i lose torque and horsepower by using a smaller displacement on the engine as well? than the 5sfe in there. We plan on telling them to screw themselves and tell them to get me a 2.2L and put that back in the car. We have to get a clutch put in there and then everything else done to the car will be by people who we trust and wont charge us an arm and a leg for all the extra crap that we can get for cheaper. i would do it myself right now but i dont really have many people to help me and my parents dont really like the speed at which my uncle works(which is pretty slow) plus im moving to a new house for college with summer school thrown in there making it hard to work on the car many hours of the day. ill be sure to keep ya guys updated because i plan on keeping my celica around for a long time.
