sell it and buy one that is manual, itll cost you more than a few thousand for everything

[NinjaMechanic]

Well if you could link me to a site where they sell 1990 celica gts's that have a standard engine please do.

I know i can switch the trannies but i just wanna know what kind of engine is in it and which are compatible

[NinjaMechanic]

i'm probably not going to buy a new one but what can i do to tweak this one out

Get yourself some forged internals. Put a turbo or stroker kit on the 5sfe. Take some weight out. The car will be pretty quick after all that. If you don't wanna spend that much. You can get a nice header off of hotshot headers. Get a 2 1/4 exhaust system with a freeflow muffler and no cats. Get a nice intake. And you will have a gutsy car, but it still will not be impressive. Good luck,

its alot harder than just
"swapping the trannys"

have yhou ever done a auto to manual conversion? not fun
new tranny
drill holes in firewall to acomidate new lines
get the ENTIRE clutch assembly, pedal, master cylendar, slave cylendar, and brake booster
get a manual rediator(yes celicas have designagted radiators)
shange out the wiering harness and ecu for a manual one
the countless hours of work involved as well as hooking all the clutch lines up

its not easy and will probably cost you at least $1500 for the whole thing

sell your auto, and buy a manual
