I have started to dislike the whole "working on my car to make it awesome!" starting as an ST and now with a 3SGTE+E-153 LSD swap... I have just lost interest. maybe because its my DD, or whatever... I am just overly stressed on making the car good. my dad nicked named the car "BOAT" (Bust Out Another Thousand) which had pissed me off at the time... but as it is now, its starting to be more and more true. I turn around something breaks and I have to put more money into it. I just can't win for losing. I love the car, but its just turning into a chore. I keep looking at all of these amazing swapped celica's on here, and I just feel even worse. mine looks like **** and probably doesn't run nearly as well as they do as well. I'm sorry for complaining but I had to get it off my chest. I'm about to just throw a tarp over it and leave it be. I dont want to get rid of it... but I dont want to deal with it anymore...

It sucks right now, I know... I haven't been where you are, obviously, but my Celica used to give me issues. Previous owner did several DIY fixes that sucked, and I had no money to fix things when they broke. But I struggled through and kept the car, and now that I've been through everything that I have with it, I love it that much more. It sucks when it's one issue after another but it's all part of the process.
