3SGTE Celica

Might be something interesting for someone here to pick up.

1991 Toyota Celica with 3SGTE turbo engine conversion: about 20K miles on engine and receipts to document professional installation. Clear title, manual, FWD, inspected, power everything, interior and exterior in good condition. Engine runs great. All new CV boots, new rear tires, new radiator, new battery, recent transmission change. Needs clutch, drivers floor gets wet in hard continual rain and A/C and cruise don't work. Lots of power. You can hear it run and see that it moves. No time to work on it, trying to thin the herd.

damn. seems perfect to finish the gt4 conversion. or is that just me?

Don't they need different floorpans for that? I'm sure 92Celi knows.

Man, it's pretty neat as is. I'd just fix it up and have a low buck screamer. Neat car!

There's a few GT/GTS that have the space for the driveshaft. This isn't one of them.

Good price for the car, though.

That's not the right hood for a top mount intercooler, though. That thing is heat soaking like crazy for sure.

Wonder why the driver's floor gets wet in heavy rain. Mine does too and i've never been able to figure it out.

If someone here gets that and that IS an OEM CS/RC hood, let me know. I want it.

Wish i had space for it, i'd buy it to tear apart for mine.

I'm just glad Harrisburg is far away.

My Truck's driver's floor got wet in heavy rain. Until it sort of created a self draining mechanism. I tracked the major culprit down to a bolt size hole in the firewall under the brake booster just at the fender well level. Water was flowing down the windshield, onto the inner fender, then through the hole, behind the carpet and to the floor. I plugged the hole with a bolt and pookie and fixed that. Now it just leaks through the sun roof.

I have access to a all trac ;)

hood looks funky, not sure if it is a real rc/cs.

and yeah, my driver side carpet gets wet also.

I think it's the real RC/CS pieces... but hacked into a regular hood. You can buy the vents separately, i have the part numbers around here somewhere.

Anyways, somebody should let me keep this thing at their place for awhile. Want so bad, just don't have the space. This would be the easy button for my Celica.

My sister has an all-trac, and an all-trac parts car. To be honest i really dont like it. It feels heavy, not particularily fast (slower than my swift) and the shifter is the worst i have ever used. overall just meh.

Well... it IS heavy. It IS slow stock.

The shifter, i would agree is pretty E36 M3ty if it's a 90-91.

92-93 is entirely different and one of the best feeling shifters i've ever used. (Better than my Miata)
