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

celica3sgte's site

This site will help you out with any information you are looking for. Don't get offended by comments from other people. There have been nearly 50 topics just like this in the couple years this site has been running and you are lucky to get non-flaming responses from a good amount of people who have completed this swap.

In all honesty though, you have been a member of this site for 3 days, yet the topics you have posted concerning an engine swap, varis arising II kit, CHD hood, and various other little mods comes to a total of over 12 large in expenses. I don't know where an 18 year old gets cash flow like this (I wish when I was 18 I had bank like that), but if you do have that money I would sell your car and get something better.

If you are relying on sponsors to help you out I really hope you have some good connections. I say this simply because there are some members on this site who have amazing cars already and they still have trouble. Don't take my comments the wrong way, I'm just being honest, but if you have the funds for something better I say go with it. If you do go through with all of your plans then that's great, but there is an abundance of information on this site already, all you got to do is search.
