Chan, why are you selling? Didn't you just finish her? Sorry to see it go but good luck with the sale.

[Chanh55]

I'm selling her because I want a comfy daily driver. I hope she goes to a loving home... and is well appreciated. I have a couple people interested already in it, and they want it as a weekend car. If I could afford to keep this 6g and my daily I would, but I can't so...

Yes I just finished her... but after driving her for a week I realize I can't drive this everyday to work. I have to run a lot of errands at work. Engine runs great, I'm not trying to sell anyone a lemon. I just went to a meet with a bunch of people witnessing the car being driven.

Also, I will not part anything out. If you want something, buy it from the new owner. I'm selling the car as she sits now.

Are you willing to ship the car? It's a shame to see it go, but it's an immaculate car

[j0e_p3t]

i'm seriously interested. but i read somewhere around here that cali has strict laws and the 3sgte or 4age swaps aren't street legal. is that true?

interior pics...with out the seats.....pictures of the seats.

Just to see the condition.

[Chanh55]

To be honest, with just finishing it and selling it, then getting mad when people ask why you are selling it sounds kinds fishy...

When did I get mad?

To be honest, if you think it's fishy don't buy it. Did you just post on my FS thread to say that? I invite anyone to come out and test drive my car. I just drove it to work which is 20 miles from my house and it ran perfect.

Here's my reason for selling, if you guys are dying to know...it's not because I had post-swap problems, not because I'm broke... nothing like that... I want this car:

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/car/142331299.html

Like I said before. I'm getting a comfy daily driver, a Solara. I've answered plenty of questions to potential buyers already through PM.

If you're not interested in buying my car, please don't clutter my thread. Thanks.

gluck with the sale chanh!

bump for a good guy!

helped me out so much, many thanks!

[Celicaguy13]

Hmm this is nice, I was actually thinking about building me this but since it's for sale... Just curious... Why don't you referee it to get the BAR sticker to make it fully legal? The 3sgte was in the U.S. until 95 (mr2) so therefore a 94/95 should be a legal swap correct?

[Chanh55]

More Pics:

[Chanh55]

Bump. Posted more pics and interior shots too.

[brianforster]

i think the fact that you welded your intercooler piping together should shut all the skeptics up period, not many people would do the swap terribly then spend money making a welded intercooler piping setup!

[WannabeGT4]

Does the AC work?

[Chanh55]

Does the AC work?

Nope. No washer fluid either. Weight reduction baby!

[CelicaSTX02]

if only I was in the area, I would jump all over this deal

[dustin15brown]

Does the AC work?

Nope. No washer fluid either. Weight reduction baby!

What would it take to get them to work?

[ToYCeLi8]

i think the fact that you welded your intercooler piping together should shut all the skeptics up period, not many people would do the swap terribly then spend money making a welded intercooler piping setup!

I sold him the 3sgte swap and FMIC set up like that, already welded. It was done up north by Evolution in Sacramento. The car is GREAT people, he's not shady, its a great buy.

But if I were you guys, and if you are truely interested, I would jump on this buy soon, before it goes up for sale like on EBAY and it sell for $8,000 +. So, $6000 DOES NOT sound like a bad price.

[Ryu3x16]

OMG CHANH!!.. here you are telling me to keep my car, blah blah blah and here i am getting my car back and now you're selling yours!! WTF?
anyways keep it

[j0e_p3t]

6000 bucks is like chump change to me. i make that much every time i blink. but the parents don't see why i should get another celica that is almost identical to mine. plus the fact that it has an illegally swapped turbocharged engine. actually they don't know about the illegal part. they just don't want me driving something faster than 110 hp. sorry... good luck with the sale though. actually, i'm kinda hoping you'll keep it. so then maybe you can let me drive it at the next meet.

[Jeremiah]

I know you said that you don't want us posting if we're not interested in buying, but I hope this will help you sell your car....


To those of us in California:
You CAN SMOG a car with a different motor IF:
The engine is a California SMOG legal engine (the engine came from anoter car that you COULD have SMOGed here. JDM's are not Cali SMOG ready).
The engine comes from a similar type of vehicle (Passanger vehicle vs Commercial vehicle).
The engine came from a car the same year as yours, or newer (this gets tricky with production years overlapping).
The engine has all the original smog equipment from donor vehicle.

If the swap meets these qualifications, you call up CHP and tell them you want your car reffed (or blue stickered). They will set you up with an appointment to go into a CHP Ref place which will check your car out (mostly making shure it still has all the original smog equipment) and then put a blue sticker in your door jam. Then you go to local SMOG shop and smog it.

My old room mate did this with his Honda (put an Integra motor in this Civic), so I know it can be done legally. If you have questions on this, check out the DMV and CHP web sites.


~J~

[CheesyLobster]

i'll call you later.

[thaimiishoe]

omg i'd buy this in a heartbeat if i could

[Chanh55]

ok, so you make 6k every time you blink yet your parents still control your life? what are you some kind of 17 year old drug dealer?

the part about making 6k bucks of chump change when i blink was sarcasm. needing mommy and daddy's money is true. anywho... quit jacking the guy's thread. his car is awesome. sexy plus the speed to match. worth a lot more than 6k. bump for chanh55.

[b1gr3d]

wow that solara looks pretty sleeper like. just get a lil more agressize lip to add to the front(yeah i know it has trd on it but still)

GL on the sell anyways..wish i could have it

[Clipsetuner]

Im real close to gettin this car... I just need the insurence check...

DTE

[Chanh55]

Well... I've been driving her for a week now...to and from work, problem free I might add. I must admit, I hate to see her go, for obvious reasons.

I haven't driven many cars, but the ones I have driven: my bro's s2k, or the cousin's g35, 350z and mkiv tt... this car offers the same thrills for a fraction of the price of those pricey monsters.

It's like going from 56K to Cable or Broadband internet... swapping in a 3sgte is no different, once you go 3sgte, you'll never go back.

But I've made my decision... my car will live on through her new owner.

[Chanh55]

Sold to forkee420's Dad for an undisclosed amount. He's had just about every generation Celica there was... I glad it's going to someone that loves Celicas more than I do.

I'll still be around. =)

[Consynx]

kewl, Go Forkee's Dad, lol

[95celgt]

BWAAAAHAAHA, darn, funny, just when I get it all together!, sheeeezzz, oh well, thats life:P

Guess I'm getting another ST so i can do the 4A swap:S

[doGGy]

BUMP^

Buyer backet out.

[Chanh55]

Just received a phone call from the buyer stating the car didn't fly to well with the wife. Buyer was really excited about the car and even gave me a deposit. Well bad news for him, good news for you. Buyers act now... don't let this one slip away again.

[markie]

sorry to hear about the sale not going through chanh.

wife must have flipped, "you did WHAT with our money.. are you an idiot, we already have a black celica!!"

hope someone jumps on this before i consider taking out a loan, lol.

this car is beautiful, fast, and will definately make her new owner VERY happy.. did i mention it's fast?

free bump!

I helped Markie install his bumper and sideskirts over the weekend, we took a break and I took him for a spin in my Celi. Lets just say he was bracing for dear life because it was so fast and when I asked him if he wanted to drive her he said, "It's too fast, I'm scared to drive it."

Also, cheesylobster took it for a spin unattended for 10-15 mins... when he came back, all I saw was a big smile on his face...

Forkee's dad loved it after driving it for 5 mins... and was ready to buy, but as you know... his wife didn't like the idea or something.

Just a little proof to the people thinking I'm selling because I'm having post-swap problems....

[markie]

duude, i wasnt scarred!! haha, anyways, the car runs smoothly and looks clean! brian was driving it for so long we thought he stole it or something, haha.

[Chanh55]

duude, i wasnt scarred!! haha, anyways, the car runs smoothly and looks clean! brian was driving it for so long we thought he stole it or something, haha.

lol yeah, we thought he was lost or got pulled over by a cop or something... turns out he just didn't want to stop driving her.

yea....sorry chanh. my mom got super issues when my dad said he was gonna get it. she wouldnt stop bitching around the house. i was all excited too... =(

[Chanh55]

haha

[celicarus]

dangit only if you were closer -(n didn't already have plans 4 a swap)- $5k --- dannnggg - that's a steal -no offense, but - are u crazy? your celica deserves more respect than $5k - you must really want that solara --

if i was to buy this - i'll feel bad giving you just $5k for it - my conscience wouldn't allow it -- hope someone jumps on this soon

out of curiousity did you use uship? just wanna know if anyone else is gonna be as wowed as i was by them lol

Yeah, I think he used uship and had them bid on it. The guy who delivered my car had a race car trailer so it was covered the whole way, nice guy too.

[brianforster]

sweeeeeet, uship ROCKS, how much did he end up paying

[Chanh55]

sweeeeeet, uship ROCKS, how much did he end up paying

He only had enough to bring it to a city 8 hours away from his hometown, it costed him 850.00 I believe. He drove the rest of the way.

[brianforster]

bout how many miles was that?
