Been having a crazy idea, bout getting one, and restore, not to original but to my taste. However been googling around and celicatech has no info that is worthy, a lot of lame forums if i keep googling.

Anybody here that can guide me. I dont have the car yet, but want to find out about completed engine swaps. LOL

RWD, means 3sge altezza 6 speed. or similar. anyone with ideas?

HAhah i cant find those. i did how ever find some really nice fender mirrors I need to find another shell to cut up. I might have to order another 32/36 Weber Carb from Redline.

lolz you have to know people to find the good sites. Lucky you got me and Derrick and that guy from Australia that has 3

Also AE86 suspension parts can be used..........i have yet to confirm because all the hachis i drove were too balla' to part.

i had a 1jz block that i wanted to build up but i gave it away. i might do a 22re or a 3tc

For the front suspension, AE86 parts work. I'm going to be doing the shortened AE86 front casings/spindles, with the AW11 AGX rear inserts, and ground control coilovers at 8kg. For the rear I would probably go with the Camaro struts with swift springs @ 6kg (since I would be using the 86 rear end as well). But then again, I have the RA28, so there's going to be some playing around with it. There's not a lot of suspension coverage for the RA28/29, mainly the earlier models.

Hmm the 22re and 3tc are nice motors, but I'm an 18rg fanboy . I drove a corolla with the 3tc in it at work the other day, and the engine ran so perfectly and the response was immediate. The owner kept really good care of that car. So you're running the weber 32/36 huh? I thought about running that one, but I'm buying the 20r sidedraft manifold from a member on 1stgen, so my plans changed a bit. How was it working out for you? I'm looking at the weber DCOE 45 right now, and will probably order from Redline too.
