Celica supra

Ok guys here is the deal. I just saw a celica supra and i was told it was up for sale it has 99k on it. But it also sat for 6 years. I was also looking at a 88 celica. Im going for more proformance and i know the celica supra would kill the 88 but could u guys list the ups and downs for both cars. and maybe the hp. Wat kinda engine. Just give me a little background. I have been in love with the supra for a very long time and here it is in front of me. Im so lost right now.

What year is the supra and is the Celica a GT, ST, or GT-S? Handling wise any Celica would be better because it weighs less.I have an 87 Supra Im tryin to sell that has a 200 hp stock engine. all the celica info u need is at the top of these forums. Celicas are quick, but not really the fastest things on the road. If your wanting a drag car, then the supra would be a better choice. If u want a real racer that can handle and accelerate pretty quick, then the celica would be my choice. Hope this helps.

Well the celica is a gt. And its sitting in a car lot with 190k on it. The guy who sellls the car has know to be a rip off. And the supra i dont know the year. But it is pretty nice over all. Hes thinking of trading the supra for my escourt that why i siad i think the supra will be better i wont have to put out money. And for the handeling on the supra is it ok poor or good. I would like to slowly build a car to get use to power increases. I have been driving for awhile but have never been behind a high power car. And i now you cant just hop into one and go. Celicva has no rust but i do see were someone patched it also and the supra has none. ANd thank you for the help.

i would pick the supra personally, rwd, more power, better looks.

Im leaning towards the supra because i have always been in love with them cars. I like celicas. But the supra has been my dream car.

Ok its a 82 supra celica. I rode in it today all it needs is rear shocks. Its very fast. Is 2800 to much for it?

for only 99k miles 2800 sounds like a pretty good deal. not to mention it is a pretty rare car.

yea go for the Supra. They have a 5mge engine right? Id say they are rated at just under 200 bhp. probably 180 or something. They are pretty good looking cars too. the 5m has les power than the 7m but not by much.

Ok well we may trade my 90 escourt and 800 bucks for it.
And now ima be looking for parts for it. WOuld it be better to keep the engine thats in it in the car or is there a engine i can swap. Its automatic and has a shift kit.

a 7mgte engine out of a mkiii should fit without too much trouble. you will probably have to use the same bell 7m bell housing to make the tranny work with it. they may use the same transmision though but im not sure. U can fit damn near any engine in it with modification from m series to jz series. it just depends on budget and amountof work u wanna put into it. good luck with whatever u do though.

So wat kinda price range are we talking for the engines and witch is the best. I mean i will be investing alot fo money into it so i dont want a engine that can only do so much.

theey are on ebay all the time. check there for a jdm engine.

Ok ill check that out tonight. And as for the supra u have for sale were do u live. i wouldnt mind picking one up for 500. Pm me about it

Hmm is there anyway to fix it and how muchg would it cost to restore. Or would the parts fit on the 82?
If i could find a way to bring it to pa i might be interested.

Get the supra, the celica is no good, it a nonturbo, FF, L4, The supra in the other hand is FR (I think we all know what that means), heavier, yes, but the L6 will make up for it. Just make sure theres nothing wrong with the supra, it has been siting for 6 years.

the 5MGE from an 82 maeks in at 140HP and the later oens make 161. to keep it all motor and build it is extremely expensive and the gains will enver be justified. if oyu do want to go turbo you can either A)go with a MK3 7MGTE (pretty much bolt in deal) or go big with a 1JZ(JDM ONLY) or 2JZ from both of which require lots of mods go here on celicasupra.com register and introduce yourself and trust me SEARCH before you post and they will be happy to help you out.
