Hey guys.
As we all know the most common and favorable motor to swap in a celica is the 3sgte. And the perfect weight distribution for front -to -rear is 50/50. But how much heavier is the 3s compared to the 5sfe and 7afte. How is the balance of the celica affected after the swap? Is it going to be like a h22 swap crx? ( aka fat girl sitting on your hood?) |

the 3sgte is about 200lbs heaver than the 5sfe. so yes it will be heavier or like a fat girl on your hood. and ive asked people here about how cornering would suffer but they all say it dosnt. but i have a feeling that understeer will increase dramaticly(spelt that wrong).
