Been having a crazy idea, bout getting one, and restore, not to original but to my taste. However been googling around and celicatech has no info that is worthy, a lot of lame forums if i keep googling.
Anybody here that can guide me. I dont have the car yet, but want to find out about completed engine swaps. LOL RWD, means 3sge altezza 6 speed. or similar. anyone with ideas?

I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

It's a good car, you just need patience with it. Information and parts for it are not easy to come by at all. 1stgencelica is your best bet though for any kind of help. Engine swaps are fairly common with the first gen Celicas. 7mge/gte, 1jz, 2jz, f20, sr20, 1uzfe are all nice choices. Personally, I'm sticking with my 20r motor and putting together a dual side draft system for it. That along with a header should open the engine up real nice. Then I would use an AE86 LSD rear end and a custom coilover set up and it will be legit
 . If you do get one, make sure to find one with a clean straight body, and good interior.
