Okay, I have made up my mind. I am gonna get a new celica. I am looking for a high mileage GT Hatchback. It HAS to be a manual. The reasons for this is because I AM going to do the AWD conversion and the 3S-GTE swap. I am also going to do the interior too. I only have one car so I might as well get a new car for winter anyway. Also I have talked to EL about this and they said that if the car was an Automatic that it would cost about 500-700 dollars more to do the tranny swap. Also since I have a 98 it is gonna be nearly impossible to do the swap. I talked to Eric from EL and he said that the codes for the 98 and up celica ecu's (all gens) have not been released by toyota yet. So if the tried to rewire the ecu for the 3s-gte it would just fry the ECU. They also have fuse lines that can be bridged but any shortage will fry the ECU. So that in itself proposes another problem. So I am gonna get a cheap celica gt hatchback manual and just have it repainted. I can't decide what color. I am kind of leaning towards orange because it will stand out more at shows and for the ladies too. HEHEHE Here is a celica that I am kinda leaning towards. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=15288
I just would appreciate it if everyone voted so that I can get a good idea of what color to paint it. And money for the paint is not an issue. |
