    Default Celica Supra or Celica XX

    A couple things have come up that've sent me to Alabama a few times and every time I'm there I notice the old Celica Supra my uncle has sitting in his yard. I'm thinking about buying it once I can get in touch with him about the price and the condition of the motor. My question is does anyone know anything about this car. I've looked it up online once but it seems it's more well known in Japan than the states.

    its pretty slow bone stock, maybe a nice boost project? It uses a 5mge if i'm not mistaken

    The celica-supra has a 5mge in it which can easily be turbod or swapped to a 7mgte or even further to 1jz or 2jz. they are much lighter than the mk3 and can be very fun cars! aftermarket wheel options are limited though

    Thanks everyone for the info. It seems like my best bet with the car would be one of the swaps mentioned. I'm going to call the guy tomorrow night and see what he'd want for the car. Does anyone know what the price would be with the engine blown?

    That's what I'm hoping. If I get it it's going to be first project so I want to know everything about it before I start to work on it or mod it.

    yeah 200-500 bux... imo

    The wheels alone sell for a lot, I bought my set for 150 bux w/o tires... thats alot for a stock wheel that 14 inch lol.
    they're supposed to be 14x7, but on the wheels they say 14x7.5 casted in.

    but yeah its going to be a project for sure, If you're that set on getting one, you can usually find one that's already running for around 1000-1500 ... And then go from there. IMO if you're new to it all, its just going to be a 200$ driveway ornament until you get the ball rolling.
