I donno why but lately the FS forum is filled with swapped 6gc's for sale. May I ask the owners what's the reason? Is it because even after the swap, it still couldn't fulfill the speed demon in you? Got bored with the car? Think that 6gc's are getting old and can't keep up with the frequent maintenances?
It's funny cuz a lot of people are talking and asking questions about swapping, and at the mean time a lot of people are trying to get rid of their swapped vehicle.. -------------------- |

2. most guys cheap out on everything during their swap, and it comes back to haunt them. they will try to reuse an old clutch, or ghetto rig something and then get pissed when it fails down the road.
3. a few of the people that had a shop do their swap didn't get the benefit of learning about their cars. then they run to a shop when a single vac line comes loose and think their car is cursed or something, when its really a 5min fix. you cant double the output of your celica without knowing a single thing about whats under the hood. that about covers 95% of the swaps on this site. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
