H-ey guys got another 94 St.

-flashback-

Last year sometime I had 94 st with the 7a-fe. Had basic work done. Also had a spare engine and got the rebuild kit from importperformanceparts.com with the ridiculously priced pauter rods.

Then a week or so before I got the engine in the car i was t-boned in a intersection. Insurance wrecked her, no shape for rebuilding. So my hopes and dreams shattered.

-flash forward-

About two weeks ago got me another celica st with 80k for 1300 with a bad clutch. So I got a clutch, put it in a couple hours and back to rolling.

Last week, Just got done with installing and aligning her at my work with the new D2 coilovers (-1.5 " front, 1" rear drop) suspension techniques sway bars, and 10 spoke 17" motegi rims, smoke finish; and some eagle f1 all-season (215/45zr17).

So what do yea guys think should be the next thing up. Body kit or engine performance. I'm thinking 3sgte, instead of the 7afe build up. Whatcha all think

I think the 3VZ only weighs like 20 pounds more than a 3S, but it's the smooth torque curve, equal stock power as a 3S (2nd gen), sexy v6 sound, and better gas mileage.


Swapping it in is pretty straightforward. If you can find a V6 5sp Camry Solara then you're set. You need the e153 trans (a Celica GT S54 trans will work as well) and you'll need to get GT motor and transmission mounts. Those will all bolt in, but you'll need to have a passenger side mount fabricated - no big deal. Then its just a matter of wiring and hooking everything up.



2GR is much more complicated - Drive by wire conversion, immobilizer, modern electronics, etc.

2GR though..... Drool.... 265whp stock. It would be awesome in a Celica.

Like price comparison, about the same as the 3sgte or more?
