should i sell???, kinda wondering the value of the celica Options

[H8DC3lica94]

i told my step-dad about dropping in a 3sgte engine into my coupe. his response was to just get a brand new car. i've been thinking about it and its been leaning to getting a new car. its so hard to get parts for our celi's and the coupe makes it even worst. and theres not enough power for me to feel happy about. just wanted to share my thoughts with you and i'd like to hear from you. what would you do????

Ah, didn't know they had a 94-95 MR2.. Nevertheless, one will "probably" have a hard time finding one - with low mileage at that

I guess if you are able to snag a 94-95 3S-GTE from an MR2 and transplant all the emission stuff then you should be good to go. Or basically snag a higher mileage 94-95 MR2 3S-GTE then just rebuild it.

Are you stating that one can use a 90-93 All-Track 3S-GTE and stick it into a '94 Celica and keept it legal in CA? If so, how (legally, not bribing peeps and all) considering it's older than the 6th Gen (94 -> 99)..

As for the RX8 - why? Considering there's probably gonna be a flood of turbo's soon for the 350Z (rotary engines + turbos don't mix reliability wise).
