i think you will appreciate the celica more once you put some hard work into it, especially and engine swap.

You are comparing different cars made for different reasons.

The celica will own the TA in other types of races.

Im pretty sure you'll be getting the LT1 not the LS1 in a 95.

and most importantly V8 gas > I4 gas

im use to it draining my wallet...my plan is to drop it in this summer with little mods (boost controler, a good tune, water injection etc.) then next summer go big with a larger turbo, cams, bore it out, forged everything the whole 9 yards) i still want to do the celica really bad but the thought of dropping 6-8k on an LS1 and being just as fast with out all this time and work just distracts me...A LOT...its all i thought about today at work...just weighing out the good and bad of both...and so far there quite even...i still dont know what to do

your just getting pre-swap anxiety. a decent amount of work is lying ahead of you and you are getting nervous. just stick with what you have...we'd all hate to loose you in this community frown.gif

We've all been there - thinking exactly what you are right now.
For me it's the lack of mullet and appropriate hairband music to really give the LS1 cars what they deserve. tongue.gif
Plus boost is the greatest feeling in the world biggrin.gif
