Hello Celica lovers,
I am proud to say I have just purchased my first celica. I bought it off my father. It has been in my family since my cousin brought it home from Japan in 1995 NEW so it holds a large amount of sentimental value. Its a 1995 ST202 JAP import 3SFE. It has seen better days as my dad didnt really take care of it but I love it so I am going to do the best I can to restore it. I know its not the best celica and certainly not the most powerful (being a 3SFE) but its more than a car to me and I want to get the best performance out of it as possible. I will post up pics as soon as possible. I havent done anything to it yet and I have some ideas but any advice you pro's have I am all ears and hope one day I will be a celica enthusist too. |

Offcourse you could change the engine to a very powerfull one, a 3S-G(T)E or something. But do you want to change te car that much?
I wouldn't do anything with the 3S-FE engine if I were you. And changing it is a big thing if the car is of such value to you, so you decide.. -------------------- 1995 Toyota Celica GT -- 3SGE, 175hp -- Superstrut, LSD
1985 Toyota MR2 -- 4AGE, 125hp -- midengine, rearwheeldrive |
