Hey guys, I'm selling my 2001 Toyota Celica GT-S, because I'm looking for a car with more potential. I have a few options of what I could do and I'm looking for some experienced feedback from dsm guys.
First of all, I want a GSX (nothing else), But I have a few options which are...
1) Do I buy someone else's tuned gsx running about 350 whp? Do you think I'm buying someone elses project? Am I gonna run into a lot of problems?
2) Do I buy a gsx rolling chasis in mint condition and dump the new engine, bigger turbo, intercooler, downpipes, trans into it? Is it something I can do (a girl) with help from my boyfriend? But we're both basically amatuers when it comes to working on the engine. He's done a engine swap on a crx but that's basically it. Is it something quiet easy to work on?
Sorry for the newb questions....but that's why I put it in this forum. Any feedback is appreciated as well as anybody selling their gsx in great condition.
Thanks! -Keri
