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.

Thanks man will check it out smile.gif

Ok I've kinda hit a wall and need you guys advice. As I said I was thinking of swaping out my 3sfe engine for a 3sge BEAMS. I have found a few beams engines around but they are on the expensive side.

I got contacted by an engine company in london saying they have a refurbished 3SGE for €400, which is well cheap. I had my heart set on the beams but I just dont know.

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
