RECONDITIONING MY DAD'S CELICA, Just inherited a lovely celica!! Options

[coneyre]

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.

Stats about the 3S-FE:

It has 115hp, but probably more torque. This might be countered by heavier drivetrain.

I think you could swap the head and ecu etc, for 3S-GE parts. But the internals might be weaker, not sure.
