I'm New Here Options

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say before I ask my newb question, that I am glad this site is here. Some of you have some very impressing rides, while others provide great information.

My question (Please don't beat me with "You damn newb" comments, I already said I was one) to you all is this. I know my 95 Celica GT is not meant for high performance and such. Although I seen the GT4 and want to ask if it is worth the money to do this engine swap, and what might have to be done or considered when doing a smog test (Yes I live in California) to pass. If it will even pass.

I am looking for a general price range for labor to do this swap, including transmission and such. I have never got a chance to do something with a car that I owned, because of bad luck, but now I can and I can't seem to find another car at the moment. So might as well work with what I got.

I am also looking for a good catback exhaust system (Limited myself to eBay and can't seem to find one) for my car as well. Just for starters. I know I posted this in the wrong part, but since my question is regarding the Exhaust, Engine Swap, and Labor (Plus any other helpful information), then why not here. Okay, so please, don't flame me, I already feel stupid asking for a little help. Any response would be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to know if basically, it is possible to turn this poor old GT into a GT4 and still have it somewhat legal or able to pass emissions (even if maybe I have to take off a few things like cold air intake, turbo, etc..) here in California. Anyone have knowledge on this subject matter? I would forever be in your favor, and will sacrifice a kidney one day if you need it..... or maybe my first child..... or a crack at my future wife.... or something....... LOL Thanks Guys!
