HELLO! from Wheelers Hill, Melbourne :)

Hi all!!

The names Dylan and I'm usually found on the SupraForums.com.au but i thought i'd come here to have a chat with you all!

I just recently bought myself a '98 ST204R Celica SX-R with 183,000k's on the clock, manual for $7300. Loving it.

I wanted to come on here to make the most out of my celica for the time I have it. I would like to rebuild the 5S engine at some point, either drop in a 2jzge or just rebuild it as the k's are getting high. What are your views on this? I don't have to much knowledge of the Celica, only the supra haha.

I have plans on purchasing myself a lovely SZ-R Supra or a RZ Supra in the near by future.

Here's a few pics of my baby at the dealer when i first got her:

I've got a few plans with this.

- remove all badges from rear except SX-R

- tint tail lights

- 17 or 18" wheels

- full pioneer sound system

- shift knob

- carbon fiber foot pedals

- paint the dash silver or apply carbon fibre to it

Apart from that, I'm not going to do anything. The car is completely stock so far.

Is there anything I should be looking out for on a 180,000+k car? How many K's does all your Celica's have??

you might struggle getting a 2J to work in your celica.

first obvious issue is the Celica is FWD, and the 2J will more than likely come from a RWD application....

i am sure there a many more issues.. but i will let the people who know more about the subject fill you in.

thanks guys! yeah i know there's no way a 2jz could fit in the celica :P i guess i was just dreaming that day.

3SGTE is the engine your thinking of... 180k on the celica depends what sort of km's they are , if it's had a hard life it may not be as tight or honest as an example thats been treated well...

yeah i believe it's been treated pretty well. picked it up from Subaru Glen Waverley last monday. Got a great deal on it. Completely stock, but so far I've installed a head unit into the car.

I'm looking to install a custom dash face, just like this one:

but i can't seem to find any anywhere!! Can anyone send me in the right direction?
