I was jus wondering, is there a way to just pay a performance shop like 4-6 grand and have them do all the work like getting the clip, installing the engine, and putting everything together. And I would make a monthly payment to them, like a financing plan for the 4-6gs for the swap.

QUOTE(zabe1 @ Aug 6, 2006 - 7:31 PM) [snapback]466122[/snapback] yea that's what i was thinking as well. As far as doing it myself. I am not mechanically inclined, I know that you would need to know the basics about cars. What would you recommend in this case? Well in that case, i would either recommend learning what is needed to do the swap. Or saving enough money to have a shop that has SOME knowledge of our model toyota celica. Most shops dont, so be careful. This is to some people a "basic" swap, but it does include some extensive work (wiring harness, fabrication of little parts, etc..) If you are planning on getting a clip that would be better everything you need would be there. I myself am in the middle of a swap its in the shop right now and i work on it about 2 times a week. I myself am no magician at car mechanics, but i am having a guy who knows much about the 3sgte to help me. So my answer to your question would be to (unless you will learn about it) let someone with knowledge in this field do the swap. Hope this helps my friend. |
