Looking for all information about 6 gen, new comer needs help Options

[SeanWoody]

I am sean wood and i am from southern orange county, california. I started out being a honda kid and got into trouble with the law and had to get rid of my car. I have fallen in love with the 6th gen. celica and i am lookin into getting a 99 GT. I am not to sure about any of this because i came from honda so i need help. What is the differents in the GT and the ST? What engines can i swap? Is there a JDM type of the car? what is good suspension? what would be a main company to go by? (honda has spoon, mugen, stuf like that) Wheels, bolt batterns? What could i do to make decent power for a nice handeling daily driver? and most of all, anyone know where i can get a decent 6gc around here? post me back or AIM me: "ThisistheWood"

I am suprised i got a response so fast. Everyone on honda-tech are all haters. All my buddies work at this shop called Neu-Art and my buddy can hook it up with some custom fabbed stuff so im happy about that. Do any of these engines come in VVTL-i? or is that just a 7th gen thing? can u swap heads?

as far as I know vvtl-i was a 7th gen thing because they recieved an entirely new series of engines. honda-tech was a horrible site, I hated going there for advice when I had my Prelude. always telling you to search and never answering questions, even when it would be shorter to answer than to flame about it.

Custom-fabbed stuff is your friend with Celicas. The few things that are available for it are played out I think because there aren't many options. As for swapping heads, I think an entire engine swap would be easier for the ST. I'm looking into a 3sge swap for my GT sometime in the future, or who knows while I'm at UTI next year I could dream up something completely different.

As a side note, I like this forum and everyone on it. Everyone is helpful and awesome and I've learned a lot about my car through it, and I know if I need help there will always be someone with advice or a new idea.
