I have a 1994 celica st automatic. as soon as i saw the car i fell in love with it.
So after i bought it the engine is just over all past its due. So i thought about getting rid of it but the i started to do a bunch of resarch and i wanted to get a 3s-gte 3rd generation jdm swaped into it. I know all about the swap, its very indepth with all the wirring issues and motormounts. but i want to know will the 6 grand or so that i put into it be worth it? i mean with complacations later down the road with the swap and stuff.I really like this car and i want to hang on to it i am thinking the 3rd gen 3s-gte is the best way so if you could please give feedback that would be great. oh yeah i do know about the conversion from auto to manual (about a grand) |

idk, i've contemplated the swap too but once you figure in the cost of the engine and parts, insurance and cost of your beater to drive in the meantime, and the added maintenance I think I would rather spend that 6-10k on just a second car that is a lot nicer and keep the celi as the daily
