[celicaracer18]

i am starting a project celica and am ready to order the engine
i have one persone telling me to buy the MR-2 engine and tranny because then i can stay fwd

then i have someone else telling me to buy the st205 front clip which will be much more epensive(also more shipping charges) and i will have to be AWD

i do want to eventually convert to AWD but i'm not sure if i want to if it is going to cost me $10000

i have my money ready and i need to order the engine ASAP
i am currently asking for partial sponserships but if i know what i need and find a good price then i will order it tommorrow because sponserships probably won't happent at this point but would be great on the engine

you don't really need the clip at all. but from all that i've read, its easier when you get the engine from an alltrac. the other thing, all you really need is the engine, the wiring harness, and the ecu. it helps a bunch if the harness is uncut. the axles and transmission are useless. and most likely you'd get an st185 clip, so the hood and body panels would be useless as well. usually you get power steering pump and stuff with the engine when you buy the engine alone. so id recommend, if you can find a deal where you just get the engine, full uncut wiring harness, and ecu...you'd be set.
