Before you decide to scrap the Celica, you could probably buy a 5S-FE or just the pistons out of it from someone who's done a swap, if you're interested.

yea you can get a rebuild engine anywere from 500 to 1000 bucks... and if you have some friends with tool and a shop... you can do the work yourself in about 10 hours ..

this is a perfect time for a 3sgte swap! it will cost you less then buying a new car.

Blowin a piston sucks. Thats what happened to my old Bronco. But i'm w/ these guys its a great opportunity to upgrade your celi or just get a rebuild. It would be totally awesome if u got the 3sgte. I test drove dozens of cars b4 i found the celica and my only complaint so far is that its a little sluggish compared other cars, but the swap would remedy that. Best wishes if you have to get something else, but IMO theres not a better car out there than a 6gc.

thanx for the comments guys. greatly appreciated. i do not want to part ways wif my car, but my parents are patyin for the expenses. i hab some money of my own which could be enough to get a front clip from jarco. however i do not hab the money to proceed wif the swap. my parents are not willing to shell out any for a swap. thus the idea of a swap is scratched. i've dreamed about a 3sgte under my hood even before i came through this site. and i thought i could make it come true when i got here. however, things never go as planed and i never got near the swap. i'll prolly b disappointing a lotta peeps. and im sorry. i luv my 6gc as much as all of u do.
once again this is a great site and i do not want to leave. sorry for the long post. |
