So you have a celica that you didn't care for before. It grew on you and your heart swells with love for it. You decide you want to modify it. What's that? Your state frowns on modification to your vehicle? Who gives a $#!t. Let's do this!
I ask your thoughts. You have a stock 95' GT Hatchback Celica. You have $2300 (I realize this isn't a whole lot, but dude, it's free money) ready to dump into it. What do you do first? So many things I plan on doing in the future, but would like to save up more before getting into swaps, just because I do not have the proper tools or the knowledge of doing so at this time. Unless you know people :-D Even still, I doubt $2300 can get it done. So would anyone like to be the best 6gc friend to a stranger and send your thoughts this way?

Well, out of curiosity, how much would I be looking at for the engine swap? I know the AWD conversion could be very expensive, but could this be done on the same 3rd gen engine that I would use for my car as a FF the way it is?
Okay never mind on the cost. I have an idea, still the same question regarding the drivetrain. I am going to wait til 2009 so I can smog it one last time before I pay to pass smogs and heavy mods. Maybe cosmetics with some light mods like CAI and exhaust.
