k thx for the advice ill prolly just let the 2.2 run out then drop the 3sgte in the car

ima have to swap the engine anyways the car has 112000 miles on it and im prolly going for the 3sgte anyways but for now im looking for just simple up grades...to give the car more push ill start the mayjor tuning once im outa basic and on a stead payroll

ok thx i think thats prolly wat im gonna do after i go ahead and add a new clutch btw any ideas on a really good clutch? cause im not really wanting a 1/4 mil car i want a track car i mean 1/4 mile speed is a plus but im not looking for speed im looking for i can go through turns and stuff better and faster

the 5sfe already has a basic 140 bhp correct or am i wrong? so if i would work on the head and the rods and wat not wat would be the bhp without boost i dont plan on boosting the car till i get outa basic (coastguard) not till i graduate of course...lol i just wanna see if i can finally prove that ricer or a CRX that goes to my school wats wat cause hes all stock cept the cold air intake (maybe) the rest is show and hes being a real pain lol...Track racing of course

lol well i was thingking with the engine ive got stake the econ engine and completley rebuild it by replacing some of the weaker components and going from there ima rebuild the engine anyways and add more power to the 2.2 b4 i even boost it but thats were ive come into thoughts about the 3sgte... the famous quest...why? i mean i would think if u take out oall of the weak econ parts of the 2.2 and replace then with performance parts that the 2.2 would be stronger and more of a monster then the 2.0 3sgte but that just my educated guess

but as ive said b4 i am new im not a celica expert im new to this and wanna start somewere and the next time i go to topeka and drive the car ill pay extra attention to the car and any help on hints of it being a gt-s would help cause from wat the guy said that sold it to me it is a gt-s and he is a guy who worked for my father so hes not car dumb but never kno really so any ideas wat i should be looking for incase im wrong and can correct my mistakes..once again pics will come soon enough

well my plan for now is to work from the inside out start from wat i got and build on cause i dont got the cash for a 3sgte motor which i do have questions about cause mine supports the 2.2 forgot the technical name and i will have pics of it sometime this month and i understand that america didnt have the gt-s but it did come with a "sport package" but from wat ive seen the car did come from canada, not sure more info on that one later but it is a gt-s i plan on keeping the car white and making a white and black car with the camaro ss black racing stripes from front to back... with gt-4 body not gonna to the AWD conversion till i get the cash got the tools just not the parts lol first thing i think ima do is replace that old clutch cause its 12yrs old and its sensitive and kinda hard to show the civics whos boss if i cant run it on the strip with and iffy clutch lol...other then that its pretty basic stuff i do have big plans for the car but right now advice on working with the 2.2 would help...from wat i read on the 2.2 is toyota's econo engine and the 3sgte is the performance but ive got ppl saying keep the 2.2 and just upgrade that and im confused any help with that would work. i can go far with this car cause i have plenty of time on my hands and i have plenty of room and tools (father in topeka owned mechanic shop) so any outside ideas for something original would help i dont wanna run with the crowd but i still wanna show ppl its a 6gc

ive got a white no photos yet and mine is stock color and my whole them i want the car is white and black i think the colors would be different considering most ppl want a black car more these days

Hello my name is Kevin McCord i am 17 yrs old and im a knew owner of a 96 celica gt-s. it is my first car (i got lucky) and ive grown up around car...chevy's mostly camaros and chevelles...but seeing as this is MY car i wanna make the best of it and hopefully keep it considering i wanna play around with somthing other then a BB-chevy. actually this isnt my first car my first car was a 86 camaro berlinetta( 2.8) but had to sell cause of cash problems and gas prices. back to the celica im actually excited about it. i live in a town full of Civic-CRX's and Si's. and a few gsr's live on my block. and to be honest there all POS's cause everyone buys them and throws exhausts, and the bench sized spoilers...anyways any advice would help ill get more info on the car soon its sitting at my fathers in topeka i have seen it its white and the oonly thing that can go wrong is the 12yr old clutch...and i have some smarts about the car already when i heard i got it i went and did some research and all that jazz. ive asked questions but i cant rely on my sources cause everytime i ask there all like" why didnt u just get a civic" but meh ive been a toyota fan for the longest time my dream car is a 93 supra but ive got the celica as my first car which i think is a great start into the tuning...anyways ty for ur time and hope to hear from some ppl soon
