Just like the topic says, how much would you pay for a 3sgte powered 6th gen celica. No problems with it at all. In perfect running condition, already lowered, upgraded turbo with Apexi Boost controller, primered ready to paint, ect....

And lets just say the car is registered in CA.

lol, i think this is part of the 3sgte swap curse. almost every swap owner, including myself, has thought about selling their car at one point.

So true. While these cars are fast, they are not for people without patience and a willingness to learn about fixing cars. I didn't do my swap but I have done a fair amount of post swap upgrades / maintenance. While its fun most times, other times its just a pain. My oil return hose from my turbo split last weekend and I had to pay Toyota $40 for a 6 inch hose! It just came in the mail today so I have been without my car for 6 days. I am still confident as these little bugs are worked out I will have my Toyota reliability back but it can be frustrating getting there.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
