Hello,
A beautiful 1997 blue 5sp celica has caught my eye and I will be looking at it tomorrow. From what ive seen and read it is in immaculate condition but I want to see it first before I think about buying it. This will be my first car that I will be buying. |

if you can find a GT, you're much more the better.
either way, the car is fun to drive, it's not really popular for it's speed. the head design is meant for fuel economy, not for racing or high revving. with a GT you could easily swap in a 3SGTE which is a turbo'd toyota motor with about 225hp and enough kick to last you a life time. with a ST, a little extra work is involved to get the engine in there.. but it is still very possible. or, you can use a 160(roughly)hp 4AG(Z)E supercharged toyota motor. so, the only true way to put down some bad assed power with our cars is to usually swap the engine out. very costly to build up our engines in stock form, and some people will argue that it's not worth the effort. if you want to BS about the 6gc, hit me up on aim as sinner0423 or yahoo with the same name.. i've owned the car for about a year and i can tell you some stuff about it.
