Thinking of buying a Celica, anyone got advice, Need info, want to be future owner, Options

[Total_Package]

I am a owner of a MAzda MX3 GS (1993)
I am going to sell it and am very intrested in Celicas. I was thinking of going with a Integra but there are too many out on the street. I like my cars being more unique then the average Honda, Eclipse or Mustang... thats why I bought a MX3

I got some questions:

1.) Do both cars (Sts and GTs) use the same engine/tranny?
2.) Any popular engine swaps?
3.) Is it hard to get these cars into the 14s?
4.) How well can they handle boost? Like, how many PSI?
5.) What are the common problems for these cars?
6.) Are parts easy to find?
7.) Would it be hard to find a 6G Celica for $3,500?
8.) How much power can the engines and transmissions on the 6G Celicas handle?

I am tired of seeing Hondas
As a matter of fact, I am staying away from any Honda or Acura
Thats the cool thing about owning a Celica or Mazda MX3
Hardly anyone has them

I found some good deals around here for a Celica GT.
However, I think I would rather just sell the MX3, and buy another MX3 but stickshift.

Celicas seem like tight cars and all but the engine swaps cost too much $$$

With a stickshift MX3, all I have to do is upgrade clutch, KLZE engine, 9lb flywheel, exhaust, CAI, short shifter and a few other small mods and I could be hitting mid 14s N/A

Of course, if I just change the engine without the extra mods, high 14s and low 15s.

KLZE or KLDE is just a direct swap

Much cheaper and faster then Celicas too
