Last night was a very good night I must say. Normally I pay 210$/month for Insurance, and my License and Record are both clean. Thats alot of money for a 97 Celica, so much its ridiculous. So my friend told me he guaranteed me he could get me the same coverage Insurance for 120$/month. As of next month (i'm in my 3 months free right now with current Insurance Group), I will be saving almost 500$ every 6 months in insurance, which is perfectly fine for me! Sorry i'm just so excited over something so stupid tongue.gif

Ok anyways, I was talking to a my friend Mike who knows a bunch of kids that do nothing but swap Honda's and Acura's ALL THE TIME. For 1,000$ they will get me a 3S-GTE with under 40k miles (hopefully), Install the GT Tranny, Axle's and Motor Mounts and Swap it. 750$ for the 3S-GTE, and about 350$ for the Labor. So with that in mind, i've decided to go 3S-GTE instead of 4AGZE. If anyone lives in the Central Pennsylvania area and might be interested in a Swap, let me know. I might be able to hook you up.

These guys put a VTECH Head on a MR2 Turbo. tongue.gif

Its a 2nd Generation.

I'm going to have to pay for the Axle, Tranny, and Motor Mounts obviously, so I guess the complete price for everything will be around 2g's.. but 350$ for install is pretty damn good compared to what my mechanic wanted, $1000.  I guess it pays to know people.

dude, be careful. honda and acura swaps are a lot easier, because you don't have to change the wiring harness at all. hondas just bolt and drop in. i'd make sure they know how to do that before you get started. i've heard of acura/honda swap shops taking in a toyota swap and just completely messing it up, and then your car is in pieces in a shop that doesn't know how to fix it. bad.

that would explain the low price, they don't think they have to do anything with the harness.
