  1. Cillygirl - its definitely viable! heaps of websites explain how to do it: www.6gc.net, celicatech.net etc. If you are worried about parts availability you can swap in an Australian Camry / Avalon 3.0l V6 as an alternative (this is what I did). The swap is a little harder, but parts are cheap and easy to get and you will probably get a more reliable car out of the conversion.
  2. Gotta be the 6th gen for me. I'm a sucker for twin headlights. And they drive pretty well after you drop a V6 into them!
  3. turbo manifold, turbo and piggyback / ecu or 3sgte cylinder head with turbo+manifold etc Will be your biggest bang for buck - but it's not NA. Having been through this issue myself, after many painful years of driving a 'slower' car I bit the bullet and swapped in a 3.0l V6 and 5spd. Maybe a 2.0l 3sge head swap might be a good move for a budget upgrade? I wish I could help more - hopefully someone here will chime in with some more info. I am more familiar with the turbo bolt on and the V6 swap both of which will give you some really good power upgrades. But as far as exhaust / pod filter / CAI, extractors etc you sadly just aren't going to see a big jump in power. Good luck
  4. Hey guys I've had a look around, but can anyone tell me what the bolt spacing for the front calipers is on the camry? Was it ever 130mm? I'm hoping I can use something from Toyota to bolt onto my celica. Cheers
  5. Hi all, I've just signed up here after reading through a lot of your great info on front brake swaps. I drive a 1996 toyota celica with 1mzfe v6 swap and I'm looking to upgrade my brakes. Can anyone confirm that the aurion calipers are 140mm bolt spacing? And if anyone can recommend some decent twin (or more) piston toyota calipers with a 130mm bolt spacing that fits the camry mcv20/30, es300 front disc dimensions would be great . Maybe the calipers from these cars might fit? Hopefully I haven't missed this in a post some where, because I've been looking through here for a good few days. thanks guys
