3sgte or STi #237009 Jul 30, 9:24pm Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered In like 2 years i was planning on getting a STi. But after seeing that video of the 3sgte in the multimedia section i started thinking about doing that engine swap. Ive looked around and a local shop can do the swap for about 15 grand with tuning and everything which is about how much more i would have to fork out after i sold my celi. So what do you think. Please put some thought into this and dont just say the celica. This would most likely be my daily driver also.

This is going to be your daily driver. Plus, if the swap takes the place of your next car... I'm assuming you'd have to then keep the Celi for 3-4 more years. A car THAT heavily modded, as a daily driver... and keeping it as a d/d for THAT long? Not a good idea. It's going to be awesome, but a massive headache. I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you

And you can always install one too. Airman First Class
