If you are going FMIC, then it will fit no problem.

yes it will fit, just remove the tmic and make it a fmic. It's more efficient for cool air to go through, if you don't have a hood vent.

^maybe for a 2nd gen, but with a 3rd gen the stock hood won't clear it.

your're right, i did a bit of searching as well and Silver94CelicaOwner has the stock hood with 3rd gen 3s with w2a top ic.
hmm. and i was sure i heard someone say they had to convert to a gt-four hood or fmic because it wouldn't fit or it was hitting the hood... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
