96 Celica st Options

[sambo-12]

I've probably had my 96 Celica for almost two years, but haven't been able to work on it. This is my first time on a forum.


For the first 6 months i kept my car stock then this happened





hand to find a new axle, I liked my rims for the time being so I decided to buy another one (sears brand) because it broke in the accident and painted them black



and someone thought it would be funny to take my toyota emblem?



decided to get some HID's and a roof rack





Decided to instal my 12" subs


about 3 months ago i finally decided to put some money into my car and bought some new FRS rims



After that I went to get my fenders rolled


Took my car down to a shop to get my megan racing springs and stagg struts installed


Top pic is before and bottom is after, not much different, just 2"


I was loving how my car looked and drove, and have 35 percent tint and took off my spoiler





three days ago, with 170xxx miles my engine blew





yesterday I picked up an engine with only 5 miles on it, hopefully i have a chance to put it in this week

So I was reading about putting a turbo on my 7a, I feel that it would be to much of a hassle, any thoughts of a swap for the future? Since my engine has such low mileage i don't want to get rid of it yet. any suggestion in swaps into my st? It's embarrassing losing to my buddies civic when he has a full car and i have no one in mine.. but for now i guess i will have to suck up the lose... If anyone has some good ideas, please let me know, It might not be soon, but i want to do my research before i do it.
