hey thanks,
yeah thats right, its a gen 3 celica the generation after the one pictured.
i was leaning towards the 1ggte but ive heard there no so good for drifting cos they can have problems when they get hot.
any other mod ideas would also be good, like LSD and were to get it.
thanks again

Go ahead a read the faqs about the LSD and check the tech area for that too, or just do a search.

cool, thanks guys.
btw im in australia and ive never seen one drifted here.
and i got the 21R-C engine which isnt what'd you'd call quick. i know that in the states theres alot of parts and stuff for the 22R but there isnt much here is aus. Apart from putting a 1ggte in i was thinking maybe a 4AGZE or just 4AGE or maybe even a CA18 or SR20 but i dont wanna spend heaps on the conversion. thanks for all your help guys keep it coming.

i currently have a 84 celica gt, and i have been thinking about looking for a 3g-gte motor it's a 1.8l dohc 4 banger that came in the 3rd gen celi's as an option in japan... not sure how hard it is to get the motors.. or what other cars they came in..

I was expecting to see a newer Celica...hahaha..
