(now i am waighting for my $$$ from school i got audited last sem when filing for financal aid so i did not get any yet! good news i payed all of this year off so when i get the $$ i can do with it what i want!)

thanks for the fast feed back, and yea im sticking around even if i decided to go a different dirction with the car i still am getting a celica wether it be soon or by the end of summer.

g night all and i will see ya around

hi I have a few ??? on the 6th gen I am wanting to buy a new celica and would like your help

first of my goal for this car is to be my last car for a long long time I am 22 and planning on making this next car my dream car. And that is the st205 I know this will be an extensive and expensive project but it is worth it to me. I don’t just want a 6th gen with a 3sgte I want it to be awd. My goal is to have the car done with in the next 3 years. I want everything done right and I don’t want it to just be a stock st205. I want the monster I have dreamt about sense I was 15 and that’s why I am planning it to take years. Also I ruffly am guessing that this will cost me about 13-16,000 if not more in the end, and I just don’t have the kind of money so I will have to do it in sections

my ruff idea

1-get a 6gen
2-get the 3sgte
3-build the 3s up (I want it nice and strong) hoping for ruffly 300-350ish hp I want the engine to built to handle a bigger turbo then stock but not have the turbo at first
4-get the 3sgte in with a fwd set up
5-get the awd set up
6- get the awd set up in the car
7-get bigger turbo and get it in

(8) might do little things like lights nicer seats, and sound all along the way
(9) convert body to st205 –this I might also do here and there along the way if I come across the right part at the right time for the right price

So here is the ? ‘s
Does my ruff idea sound like it would work?
Am I being over ambitious, is this a next to imposable swap with huge welding/body modifications?
Do I need to get the gt or would the st work?
I herd you can get a st hatch but is that true and if so would everything still fit?
I have herd st’s are not as hard to turbo sence its just the corolla motor
(this would be sorta nice because it would give me something to do with the car before the big swap)

Any info would help, links would help, I have read what I can and haven’t found anything solid on this. I have only found that it has been done, but haven’t seen a list of what is needed or time spent on the project.

Also I probably wont be doing all the work myself, I know this is to big for just me to tackle so I have to figure that out in my timeline of costs. I do have a friend that when to school for mechanics and he said he will help so at least I will get a price cut on that.

Thank you again for all the help

Hi, my name is wil and I have had a history with the celica so here that goes

My first celica was a 82 celica supra and I loved it, me and my dad sanded it down to prime re primed it and re sprayed it with the original burgundy color. I then replaced the struts all-away around with kyb ones. then out of the blue my dad decided to take it for a test drive and decided it was way to fast for a 16 year old, never mind the fact I put all the $$$ into it and did half of the work myself. So he sold it and gave me the $$. Well some of it after he bought me a pos

Any who a year after that I found this blue celica sitting next to my moms house one day. Walked up to the door of the owner offered 500$ and it was mine. This one was and 89 gts and I soon found out how nice of a deal I got. I did not even know that gts was the best besides the all-trac and at the time I did not even know what an all-trac was. Well to shorten this story I got the car to prime and sold if for 1500$ then the guy who bought it changed the oil did not put the plug back in and blew the motor and tried to blame me……moron

My next celi was the wonder full 88 all-trac. This one made me mad sad and depressed all in one. I got it for free with a blown motor. I had everything lined up for a st185 swap had the $$ and everything except the title day and day and then weeks and eventually a year and the ass never brought me the title. Then my mom moved and I had to move out and I lost my garage and the car went to a friend who parted it out…..

So that’s my celica history
I have a ? on the 6th gens because that is what I am leaning towards getting next please go to my other post if you would like to help me
