hey i was just curious but would a lotus engine be able to fit and run in our celicas since the engine is toyota based. i know it would be super expensive, but i was just wondering when i was reading a magazine with a lotus in there that, would it be possible.

On top of that, you can still buy a wrecked car with a 2zzge motor and swap it cheaper than you could buy a nice GT-S Celica.


that depends on who is doing the swap. if have to pay somone to do the swap, then the costs would quickly add up. you would be better off selling the 6th gen and putting that money down on a 7th gen. then as a fun project you could go around replacing all the KIA parts on the 7th gen with aftermarket goodies.
