After putting well over 10,000 dollars in changes, mods, restoration, parts that are not even on the car or I replaced, etc., I have decided to sell my celica. It has made me satisfied over the past years, there is just so much potential with these cars, but with USDM versions not being able to back up the looks with speed i feel it outweighs its worth to change the motor. I will sell it for its blue book price no matter what I have put on it. I just think I will sway over to another car like another former celi member and instead go with the SC300. I think I will be able to satisfy both looks and power by getting what is so close to a supra, which I think the SC and celica are. It's a disappointment that after all the time, money, and labor I have put into it, I feel strongly about letting it go. I have not spent or done or cared much about it for months now. This is a sign that I may have lost interest. I do not enjoy driving it either, it feels just like a car now. Maybe not for others but this is it. Once I find a replacement, I will not turn back. I just wished I could have taken this car with me all the way till it rusted, but sadly not having a J Spec version or available parts or shipping issues is killing me to go further, like hitting a plateau.

the SC is easily changed to a manual from an automatic. the common supra 5spd or the more exotic Getrag 6spd. both are very simple but not too cheap.
im going to the AWD dark side with something newer probably around a 2005. good luck to the rest of ya. -------------------- 94' ST Coupe - 5sfe Motor swap and brake swap.
