Hello everyone,
I used to have a 94 Celica GT, but it just had so many problems that I sold it over the summer. I've had my 7th Gen GT for about 2 months and I am not satisfied with its looks. The 6th gen was a lot better looking. So anyway, I was thinking of selling my Celica and getting a 96-99 celica gt hatch and then doing a 3sgte swap. However, I was going to ask if it would be possible to have a reliable swapped car, because soon I will be needing it to travel about 150 miles at least once a month.. I just think that my car is too common and it doesnt feel like a real celica. Everyone and their mom has one around here, unlike my 6th gen. Anyone have suggestions what I should do?  Also, my current car has 63k miles and is in excellent condition, so I know i'm goin to be moving from a low mileage car to a high mileage car with newer engine.. -Rob --------------------  |

As long as you take care of it, it will be reliable, its still a stock engine and if you do the swap right and do the upkeep it should be very reliable.
The thing you have to watch out for is that turbo engines are real finiki(sp) when it comes to vacuum leaks, boost leaks and stuff like that. They will make your car run like crap, if a vacuum hose pops off or something. |
