I am just curious to see what non-ideal motors people have installed, attempted to install, or thought about installing into these cars. i.e.: a diesel/turbo diesel celica... anything different from the normal.

I always thought of doing a celica Euro style. Large MPG, small motor, lots of torque.
This means a 1.6 volkswagon TDI motor out of late 80's early 90's jettas, rabbits, and rabbit trucks. There are i guess quite a few people who have swapped that motor into Suzuki Sidekicks to get a diesel 4x4 with 34mpg. Pretty impressive. Like anything it would take work, but those engines aren't very hard to come by. The other Celica idea would be a short range electric car with ~ 40 miles of range. Would take about 8k to do. Batteries are the expensive part. Making the car move isn't that hard. I did all of the calculations and it would take about 15-20k miles for the payoff to be found in fuel savings. --------------------  |
