Just bought a 96 GT hatch. Haven't really done anything to it yet except get the exhaust fixed. Driving just fine to my mechanic's house to have him look at it and all of a sudden I start to hear a clinking noise. He says it's a rod and the dealership quoted me $1400 in labor and about $3k in parts.....Please, anyone have some helpful information on what I should do and the least expensive way to fix it? Thanks

So you're saying the reason I had so much trouble swapping the 3s motor into my last celica was becuase it was an ST?

Yes. Still not hard but it's not a drop in by any means

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
