as the title says.. i'm selling work. my resources failed me the first swing, and the second attempt was a mechanic in the area that screwed me. i'm hoping the 3rd attempt will be successful, but i'm making sure i don't get screwed again. i need a mechanic or shop that has ACTUALLY DONE a 3S-GTE swap in a 6th gen celica before. this can be in NC, or close to NC. worst case, if it's cheap enough, i can ship both cars within the US. the details: i have 2 celicas.. celica 1 (c1) is gutted and has a 3S-GTE chillin' in it by 2 motor mounts, and nothing more... we're talking gutted... no plastic anywhere on the inside, no pannels, no back seat, etc... ceclica 2 (c2) is in good condition, inside and out... but running a stock 5s-fe. i'm wanting to take the stock 5s-fe and get c1 running with that, then take the 3s-gte and get it running in the nice celica (c2)... i'm currently stationed in jacksonville, NC on military orders... if you're interested, how much would it cost me to have you do this swap for me/help me with it? i'm on a tight budget, and as i said, i've been screwed over twice on the swap so far. i just need someone with personal experience in a 3S-GTE celica swap in order to get this thing done right.... pm or reply as you please. i'm not asking anything for free... i can pay for the job, but i'm on a budget... i only make about $600 every 2 weeks, and i have insurance, cell phone, and a loan to pay for... i've already got $1100 in the bank for this... i'm looking forward to your responses... what gen 3sgte? do you have EVERYTHING for the swap? is all the wiring in C1? has any of the bodyharness been messed with? -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

For proximity, I'd look at Tweak in South Carolina. For absolutely sureproofbadassawesome workmanship, go to JDM guy in the northeast.

hey man, i know you sent me a PM, but at this time i have no space or else i would hook you up.
your best bet, if pressure2 is willing to do it, is to ship the car/s up to him. He'll take care of you im sure. If you have even the slightest bit of knowldge, and information, you can always to it yourself. the 3SGTE swap into a GT (assuming thats what you have) is almost a walk in the park. good luck either way, if i can help you out in any other way, feel free to PM me. Also, go through the forced induction threads and check out the swap. If your swapping into an ST, my thread and deffgeph's are good threads to go through. I can't remember in deff's but i know i posted pictures of everything you'll need to do for the ST swap. -------------------- ![]() I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |
