[CelicaGT04]

Ok guys so after about 1 and a half years of researching and saving money i now have enough knowlegde and money to complete my swap. I will cover everything i go through during my process of making my car 3sgte powered. Tomorrow (Tuesday July 11) is when i am going to buy my ST185 front clip from a company nearby. I will take many pictures and write many times to kep you guys posted. I would like to thank everyone who has done a write up on thier previous 3SGTE swap, this information was golden in helping me know what it takes and how to correctly do a 3SGTE swap. Hopefully i can have everything done by the end of july. I am getting a good friend of mine to help me complete the swap. If anyone nearby the area wants to come check out the action PM me. My fingers are crossed that everything will work fine. I have compression numbers on the clip and leakdown %, I also have pictures of what the clip looks like.

I have a 1995 Toyota Celica GT
White
Hatchback
2.2L DOHC

So here are the pics of my car as it sits now...





Here are some pictures of the clip im going to be getting...
