Well... i don't want to get a fast engine because i'm not into cars for speed. i was going to just replace the engine but i figured i have $3,000 to spend. the car i drive now has a 3.3 in it and the engine to be replaced in the celica is a 1.8. So i wanted a little bit more power.
I'm not doing the swap to have a race car...i just don't have the money to do it all....ya know...i've looked around and i can get the 5s-fe 2.2 plus the transmission for about $1,100. And anything that is going to need to be replaced within the next few years i'm just going to do during the swap....plus since i'm a girl i'd like to have the interior hooked up jus' a little bit...but i'll still gladly take any advice..
