Sounds like a plan. RSP is a sic colour.

celica/camry · 02-05-2003, 12:29 PM

or im going to build up a 7age due to i have a good 7a block in storage

Plan on doing a lot of weight reduction though.

celica/camry · 02-05-2003, 07:12 PM

and maybe later taking the 7age and turboing it (7agte)

doesnt a stock st 90-91 celica weight around 2200-2400 lbs
i know the 92-93s are heavier

and does anyone have a stock 7th gen shifter they want to sell

I have a buddy with a 7th gen celica but he didn't upgrade his shifter yet. I was also planning on doing that to mine also from what I saw on some Celica site. Pretty crazy stuff but hopefully it will go we'll. I plan on swapping mine in July with a All trac motor. Doing it for $3500 everything. It's nice because he already has a front clip. Is that a good deal?

our rides are heavy man!

3500 installed for a 2nd gen 3SGTE is a wicked deal. Plan on spending around a G on exhaust though.

Nice! Hopefully he'll still have it till the summer arrives.

I am just a little late for engine swap, b cox just dropped off my car for clutch replacement. Anyway, how much to rebuild a engine? if that is 2 SE, this is not a common engine, they are kinda old.

I am saving up money now, I hope I can do some mod to the car soon. But first of all, I have to fix the rust on my sunroof. Anyone know some big junkyard around, I am living in London, but I can get to Toronto too.
As long as they are big and has parts for my car..

You can try Standard Auto Wreckers located on Sewells and Old Finch. East of Scarborough. I found a 92 GT-S which was rare but I took the advantage to take whatever I needed before it was too late. Rarely see those around.
