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 -------------------- ![]() |

for 5 grand you should be able to swap no problem. just make sure you do all your own laybor and stuff. if the GT tranny is is good shape, you should have no problems using it. ive been running mine for over a year now. presure2 has over 150k (i think) on this tranny and is putting down over 200hp on his tranny. it should have no problems holding anything the stock turbo can throw at it as long as you dont beat it to death.
dont use venus auto, they have a bad rep. try jamsco or try to find a good deal on ebay like i did. This post has been edited by lagos: Oct 10, 2005 - 11:28 AM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
