Hello everybody!

Newly registered on the forum but been watching from the sidelines for some time.
Based in Birmingham UK and have had a '94 A102 1.8 GXi since 2000 and shared 140000 glorious miles together since then. Both looking a little tired these days but we're working on it. Currently de-moted to 4A-FE as non lean-burn 7A-FEs are rarer than hens teeth in the UK and the old motor refused to pass emissions. Wanting to go down the 3SG(T)E route once space and finances allow Smile

Miib14 that's a great build thread and if I'm ever over your way I'd take you up on the offer of a ride cheers.
Being old and lazy these days I had been wondering if there was an even easier route to solving the engine mounting problem. Yours sounds simple enough but i had been wondering whether a 2.0D crossmember and mounts would work as i belive it uses an S-series gearbox. What are your thoughts? Did you try that already?

i didnt actually try that.
may work, the celica engine lines up with corolla crossmember
