i am trying desparately for help
being a girl who knows nothing about cars i have come here for help from you guys please. i have a celica silver in colour the log book shows toyota celica st coupe date of registration 01/08/1996 petrol private light goods cylinder 1762cc p registration i have found another mot test certificate showing chassis number jt164at2000071724 the engine has blown in my car. The garage has said the car was a limited addition and they have tried 3 separate engines in it 7asfe and none of them fit. they say there is a problem with the mounts or something. i am confused !! it is sitting at the back of the garage and cannot be used for the last 8 weeks. is there any other engine i can try to get hold of to put in it. can we rebuild another engine please help anyone do you think i could sell it for spares?? what is best. the rest of the car is fine just the fact it doesnt have an engine look forward to your replies and i can take them to the lads at the garage to make sense of them thanks kerry x |

Yep, assuming its not had an engine upgrade/swap in the past it will defo be a 7AFE.
The garage either haven't even tried to find an engine or are getting the wrong type. If its from another 1.8 7AFE celica from around '95 to '98 it should fit fine.. ST or special edition SR no difference. Maybe they are trying the gen 7 '99 onwards 1.8 engine which is totally different  or another 1.8 engine from another Toyota altogether.-------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill. JDM facelift tail lights. clear sidelights. Retro-fit A/C conversion. APEX performance springs. Remus exhaust. K&N performance filter. KYB excel G shocks.
Hyundai coupe Mk 3 (US Tiburon) leather seats. Gen 7 s/wheel. SR black vinyl door cards. Late spec spoiler-less tailgate with 3rd brake light. |
