3SGTE, Worth The Hassel? Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

I hear people on the boards praysing their 3s but ya know, is it worth the time, and trouble. I heard some horror stories from people who drive an MR-2 near where i live and he has a 3 and he is constantly getting something fixed on it. Just curious?
Thanks,
DJMC

ill be very honest here. doing the swap is probably the largest mod you can ever do to your car. you will take your whole car apart, and then try to figure out how it goes back together for the 1st time in your life. parts will brake, some things youll have to redo a few times, etc. its a lot of stress, and sometimes youll even wish that you never started this project in the 1st place. for me, most of those feelings went away, when my motor fired up, but i still dont know what type of shape it in or anything, untill i drive it. that worries me.

i would say to do the swap if you....A) have money to spend, B) have a daily driver, C) have your own garage to work in, D) are ok with being without your celica for up to a year.
