I found a '93 Celica St for sale, but on this site all i see is people downtalking the 1.6l. Is it really that bad? Are there no possible mods for it? In my area, the 90-93 celicas are a rare find, and i love that body style, i just dont want to waste my time getting a car with an engine that is not moddable. Thanks in advance.

there is plenty of mods for the 4a if you are willing to swap engines. check out www.club4ag.com

Dang, so NO mods what-so-ever. To make it to at least 130hp or more? If i ended up getting it, i wouldnt be able to do a motor swap anytime soon.

dude if you dont really care about going anykind of quick then its not a bad car...becuz the 2.2 is not even quick and it has 30 more horses...but i would say its not really worth putting engine mods into...i mean you could still have an exhuast system and put like a custom intake and it will look and sound nice with some rims and a sound system...but you prolly wont ever be fast

I'll see your 4AGZE and instead of your SC12 I'll raise you a T3/T4 + FMIC.
