Which is your desire. I'm just going for show right now. I may do a couple mods to the engine but i'm going for show overall. Later down the road i'll swap in a 3sge or 3sgte. But not right now, unless i come up w/ a really good job next year.

Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City
Show....reason being that I cannot swap in a 3S-GTE in a 99 Celica legally. That would be dope tho..with the AWD...but its only legal for a 94-96 Celica here....Mmm GT4 Convertible....

well i started out with this huge show scheme, but it has fallen through so it is now going to be go oriented with a little bit of show.
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
uh... wheres the option for "can't afford either, so i'm gunna stick with slapping a gt-4 emblem on the back and hoping nobody actually knows what that is"? Thats what I'd check. >
> . Prolly show, if you call JDM tails, a custom center divider and a stuffed dog in the back seat show. If I wanted speed, I think it would be cheaper just to buy a faster car to start with.

Well, when I had my ST i was only going show cause we all know how fast those are. But now that Im going to be getting a gt its back to what the ST looked like then as soon as I can save up the cash its time for the 3s swap. But thats after I have gotten the miles up there on the 5s.

My car is about as show as it's gonna get(at least for a while...I may get a Booster Tuning Front Grill and different Spoiler later), and now I'm about to buy a 4A-GZE and swap that into the car to make it go.
New Toyota project coming soon...

For my celica? Show.
The way I look at it, $5000 can either get me an engine swap and 220 horsepower, or it can get me 400 horse and 500 ft. lbs of torque in another car. *shrug*

Yea but your car wouldn't look as good as a celica. Infact, I bet it'd be pretty ghetto for $5,000. And 220 horse in a sleeper celi is definitly enough I think.

It wont be a show car, but it wont be ghetto either. I've got friends who do body work.. I get the carcas of a vehicle for $200 (maybe an AMC javelin or something like that, even considering an S-10 Blazer) I drop $500 into a 1976 Caddy for the donor engine.. 500 cubic inches, and only 46,000 miles, the engine is mint. The rest of the cash goes into tranny, custom exhaust, suspension, wheels + tires, and paint. The rest is all little crap that can be done over time... billet grill, sound system, cam shaft, headers, fuel injection kit, shift kit, chrome this and that, etc..

*slaps him around with a Injen Intake* d00d, you may be able to get a blazer "pimped" out er somefin like that. But to see a nice clean cut celica, pushin atleast 220HP is a nice lil sleeper. Not to mention the possibilities of how much the engine can actually handle. Also, to steam some ricers off by whippin their shiate show buckets of vinyl.
All I want for the celi is 3sgte but for short term goal I probably will go gtfour frontend and stock sides.
I still don't know whether I'm gonna bother with the engine on this car. The way I see it is its kinda pointless to go with the 3s, I used to want to, but who wants a turbo FF car? I mean, I like FF, but I want AWD! Soo, If its even slightly possible I'm going to source an Aussie GT4. I have been doing research, and its completely illegal in every way to import one from jap - scratch that option. I found out that there was 88 (or there abouts) gt4's legally imported to AU sometime between 94-99 and sold officially through toyota. I saw one with 80,000 kms on it for $28,000 (AU). I paid 17.5 for my 94 Celica.
So I'm going to keep my eyes open, do a few little mods to this car, like intake, exhaust, wheels, low springs, shocks and some sound, then in a couple of years try to get a gt4.
Hey craqspider, you're strategy seems a little ... strange.
Erm just to point it out - an ST with a 3s would go just as hard as a GT with a 3s. - Anyways good luck, I hope I beat you to it >>
