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. He's asking 10G's http://www.moneybyauction.com/images/Picture%200142.JPG http://www.moneybyauction.com/images/Picture%20006.jpg http://www.moneybyauction.com/images/Picture%20008.jpg http://www.moneybyauction.com/images/Picture%20010.jpg Does this sound like a good deal? 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!

i honestly don't think that a 3s swap is worth more than 7k. People want more than that to recuperate for there loss's. Anyone who ask more than 7k I think is a lil nuts :-/ thats just my 2 cents.

Anyone who ask more than 7k I think is a lil nuts :-/ thats just my 2 cents. Try to replicate my car for $7k. I dare you. You are right about this though: Many swaps are patched together like crap and are not worthy of any serious money. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
