Hello everybody. like it says... this is the story of my Celica's transformation. This will be an on going thread so if it needs to be moved go ahead, thanks. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Great things are on the horizon.
The goal... to have the meanest street driven Celica in the world. Details will be added soon. --------------------  |

I want to do the turbo 1uzfe, but the shop doing the work is trying to sell me on a LS1. The car as of now is gutted like the pics, with just a few more things removed.
Any opinions on what motor I should base this off of? Check out this beast...
