Well its time for another engine swap and I'm excited
 I should have done this swap in the first place. James, the owner of JARCO, was even kind enough to deliver it to me. Enjoy the pics. Updates as I progress.-Colin Teh Garage  The Real Deal....ST205 WRC  W....R....C  TRD Drop in Filter  Brake Calipers and Slotted Rotors  Rear Diff and Sub-Frame  Ash Tray Coin Holder  Some Money Made Back....

LOL....no AWD swap for me, I just made sure to get everything I could from the clip, besides I already have an AWD ST205 powered Camry
. I want to keep the Celica FWD because it will be faster from a roll. I might even try and do a RHD swap too.The big issue for me is tranny choice: E153 w/ LSD, S54, or Convert the AWD trans to FWD. Not to mention axle choices, oh my. -Colin |

It was an easy choice for me... Find a busted MR2 E153 (should be cheap on MR2OC), buy a nice aftermarket LSD diff, MR2 Turbo carrier bearing and complete '88-'91 Camry V6 axles. Put it all together and you have a nice strong FWD transmission with LSD for less than a stock MR2 LSD E153. -Charlie PS. If you find a nice all-trac Camry again, let me know.
