I'm not sure about the engine swap mate.

But i own an ra60 and so does my younger brother.

the car that would have the same tail lights as yours would be the ra65 only difference is the engines in them really.

as for getting parts for it toymods is a good site and very helpful bunch of people.

what parts may you be after as i can always keep and eye out for you and i also have a complete black interior in my back shed also so if you are after anything let me know.

the 3rd gen celica's in japan came with a 4age they were aa60

or go beter and go a 3t-gte that would make it a ta63.

heaps better and it is already turboed

thanks for the site im about to check it out now and yes the ra65 shares mostly the same body differences are the motor and alos the head light the ra65 flips forward and the as63 lifts like the trueno thank you so much for the advice i am looking for a pair of tail light for my car as my brother smashed mine with a hammer.......... other then that car has a few minor bumps nothing that cant be fixed . thanks

i looked at the 4age option... turns out that there are not many for sale... tho if you watch ebay you do find some there and they are resonably priced, as for info for swapping the stock engine out for the 4age i have no idea how to do it but ill keep my ears open and let you know if anyone has done it before .. another conversion i have seen is the 1jz from the supra for sale not sure where i seen it tho.... so if you can put a 1jz under the hood im sure that that 4age shouldnt be that much harder to place in

thanks form clint

here are some pics of the car ...

such an awesome car.... I had one.

That's ok mate,

The sa63 though is the same front end as the ra65.

and they have the irs which some people put the MA61 Lsd in.

and also some people have put the 1ggte or ze whichever your preference is and is a common thing to be done.

Another rare option i have heard of also is some people putting a 1uz in it but yer i think a bit of modding was involved lol.

glad i could help though

ur car has the 2sc which was also in the corona's

whereas the ra65 had 22re same as some of the hilux's

thanks for that mate will make some things that i have wondered about easier to cope with lol as for the lsd i will be doing that and if they used the ma61 lsd then i should be able to find info on how it was done and make the job so much easier.

im looking at putting the early model mr2 3t-gte under the hood as it would be diffrent and its also turbo straight up so no spending huge amounts buying turbos and other things like that.

and thanks for the specs on the engine my car has i wasnt quite sure what engine it was lol

thanks so much

No such thing as an MR2 3T-GTE, the early ones (ie AW11) had the 4AGE or 4AGZE (ignoring povo-spec), the mid-life ones (SW20) had the 3SGE and 3SGTE, and late-model ones (ZZW30) had the 1ZZFE.

Put a 3s-ge Beams from an Altezza in it with the 6 speed manual. They are quite a heavy car for a 4a.

thanks for the info i have been misled i guess, i was refering to the 3s-gte from the sw20,as i said before im sure that it would be diffrent and out there in such an old and nice car like mine, the newer zzw30 1zzfe engine was not an option i wanted to keep to a early- mid 90s theme for the car so the 3s gte being early 90s was the choice as a 4age is hard to find even when you work in the auto parts business.

thanks for the info tho

i plan to keep the 5spd manual from the original engine which by the way is a 2sc, the 4age was an option that i was looking at but have now decided to go with an 3sgte from the sw20 mr2 and mate that with the 5spd a 6spd may be the way to go later but for right now im just trying to peice the parts together and work out exactly what i want from this car other then power lol

thank for the info
