Hello Celica lovers,
I am proud to say I have just purchased my first celica. I bought it off my father. It has been in my family since my cousin brought it home from Japan in 1995 NEW so it holds a large amount of sentimental value. Its a 1995 ST202 JAP import 3SFE. It has seen better days as my dad didnt really take care of it but I love it so I am going to do the best I can to restore it. I know its not the best celica and certainly not the most powerful (being a 3SFE) but its more than a car to me and I want to get the best performance out of it as possible. I will post up pics as soon as possible. I havent done anything to it yet and I have some ideas but any advice you pro's have I am all ears and hope one day I will be a celica enthusist too. |

Welcome to the site! You're in the right place to learn everything you want to know about our cars. I can't wait to see pictures of your new car!
If the 3SFE is 130BHP, then it's not the least powerful Celica. There is an ST that has the 7AFE motor that if I recall correctly has 110BHP. Since your motor is running pretty strong, I'd just stay with that motor for now and get the car looking how you want it to while you decide what to do about the motor. The 3SGE, BEAMS or not, is a good motor and you can't go wrong with any of them. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
