My gf has a 89 Celica GTS (5 speed) and I've been thinking of using it as a project car. Although old, the car is in great condition, in and out! As u know, 3SGE is a very potential engine but unfortunately there aren't many readily available aftermarket parts for it. While I was doing the research, I came upon this site:

I'd appreciate any input into this. If u hv any other better resources, pls let me know as well.

Thanks in advance. :)

Thats exactly what TRD's "Ultimate Celica" was. They transplanted a 3SGT engine and drivetrain (4WD) into a new Celica. That car hauled ass and handled like crazy.

It's not TRD's, it's Rod Millen Motorsports who made it.
