Hello everyone! Newbie here to the site and the 6th gens smile.gif

I previously own a 5th gen with the 185 swap. I think I want to swap over to the 6th gen chassis because Ive always liked these more. I plan on throwing my 3SGTE in there along with some suspension, simple body kit with wheels etc. Ive been doing alot of searching, but its hard to find a discussion on this. If you guys could post your opinions on this, that would be great!

So lets say I wanted to build a full out track car, what chassis would you reccomend?

Im asking because I dont know the difference between the 94/95 chassis and the 96-99 chassis. I will be looking for a hatch back, and I do know that the 94/95's have the 2 post spoiler which I do want, but what about any other differences? Suspension wise, motor install...wise. And I know it will be cheaper for me to find a 94/95 chassis rather than a newer one wink.gif Let me know what you think and sorry for all the blabble! Thanks soo much!

Well, I dont intend on making this a race only car, I mainly posted that so I could look for a chassis with no limitations. I hate being held back by someting stupid. Im sure I will be tracking it, but not classed, and in no way be a "daily" driver.

I have a coupe now, but want to go to hatchback. I plan on strippin the car down and keeping the nescesities. So it looks like I will look for a GT because of the motor mounts and the brakes.

Are there any differences between the 94/95 and the 96+ other than the spoiler? Do all of the 6th gen celica suspension(s) fit all models and years? How about bumpers/parts? And what makes the motor mounts diff? Is the engine bay diff? Or just crossmembers etc?

Ha, I hate putting that many question marks, Im sorry. Thanks soo much though smile.gif
