Where can I buy new and cheap parts for Celica?, Piston ring, valve.. Options

[Iceman22]

Hello, I'm owner of one Celica with 7A-FE engine, and I got a problem that it is drinking very much oil. I have heard that this is a widespread problem with this engine when it has passed over 100.000km (at least in Norway). The problem is that the parts are very expensive to buy, and I wonder if someone could tip some stores that are selling new parts for my car, and that send to Norway. I'm not 100% sure what it is called in English, but I think it is "Piston rings" and "Valve" if i have translated it correct (please correct me if wrong). It is at least those parts that are very high chance that is causing not normal consumption of oil. The parts are not big, but it takes very much work to get it changed. Hope you guys can help me and my celica baby

Thank you, they didn't have the parts needed for the EU model, but they have for:
CELICA ST: 1.8L 1762cc L4 MFI ( B ) [7AFE]

Do you think the parts will fit to the European model ?

I believe they will fit the Euro model with a 7A-FE

Ok, but I now consider to import one Celica (one in good condition or one that has been crashed but engine OK) from US with 3S-GE engine and replace that with my 7A-FE (europe version).
I know that a 3S-GE engine would fit to the engine room, but do any know if the US engine differ from the European one?

A North American Celica did not come with the 3SGE after 1989.

The 3SGTE (turbo) engine was not available in North America after 1993 for Celicas.

The 7AFE, and 5SFE were used in North American Celicas from 1994 to 1999. The 5SFE was only used in North American Celicas, however. The 3SGE and 7AFE were used worldwide. If you obtain a 1994-1999 Celica from the USA, it will be equipped with a 7AFE or 5SFE. Using the 5SFE in a Celica equipped with a 7AFE would require extra work (engine mounts, rewiring, some accessories). Same with using a 3SGE from a European, Australian or Japanese Celica.
