New girl on the block
 

Hey guys. I'm new here.. My name is Ash, I'm 20 and I am the head admin over at www.allgencelica.com I have a wrecked 90 GT4 *known as the celica all trac* :( and also an AE92 rolla. I may be picking up an Mkiii supra here in a couple weeks so I figured I should start learning more about them, lol. It's a friend's car and he said he wants 2k for it... it's a little bit of a project car, but the engine is wonderful and strong. He was in the process of changing the tan interior to grey so some of it is still tan, lol. Here are a couple of pics of my all trac

hello there., and welcome..

all-tracs are hot, i like them a lot, though hard to find and people sell them for a lot, the ae92....hahaha thats my beater car when im not drivin the supra they seem to be popular since i see them all the time, cheap and pretty reliable...and welcome to the forum

oh oh i just remembered my question i was gonna ask before...since you know a bunch about celicas, i was wonderin if i buy a celica...the generation after yours with teh circle headlights..i think...well the generation before the ones currently with the triangle headlights, well back the one with the circle headlights...i know its possible to swap a 3sgte motor into it...but isnt the 3sgte available only for teh rwd and 4wd platform? talkin about the mr2 and the all-trac celicas....i mean please correct me if im wrong since i dont know much about the celica...except that all-tracs are pretty crazy

the 6th generation celica is the one with the round headlights. Yes u can do a 3sgte swap into them and fairly easily too... In other countires they made the 6th gen celica with the 3sgte... it is known as the st205 came with a 3rd gen 3sgte and was 255hp 255 torque. U can also use a solara tranny in the celica when u do a 3sgte swap... they can handle the power of the engine and it's what ppl typically use when they do the swap. yea u can use the all trac's AWD tranny... but it's a pain in the ass to do the entire conversion... and I"m sure u can do RWD as well... but again... u have to do the whole rear differential crap...


tnx guys for the welcome :)

hmm...is the solara tranny a straight drop in or does it require some modification to make it fit? so with the other countries that made the 6th gen with the 3sgte, is that an awd, rwd, or fwd platform?

the 6th gen gt4 was an awd turbo celica... just like the all tracs of the usa... The solara tranny as far as I've heard has never had any problems bolting to a 3sgte... I was going to go with the 2nd gen 3sgte motor and solara tranny when I was going to do the swap to my 90 gt-s... but I sold it, lol

i know the all-tracs were awd...but the solara...thats a fwd platform, so wouldnt you have to modify the drivetrain to make it compatable? i might just be retarded....unless you can change it during the swap...

the tranny unattaches from the engine... u take the awd all trac tranny off and hook up the solara tranny... since ur car is already FWD it shouldn't have a problem. but anything and everything can be changed during a swap, lol... IF and when I do a swap to my rolla... I was thinking about doing the 3sgte swap with an AE86 RWD tranny... that would take alot of modification for the engine to fit and also to change out the drivetrain... but ur car being FWD and the solara as well... u shouldn't need to change out the actual drive train

ahh i see how that works ok...i was a little lost before but i get how it works now

i love your 91 alltrac i wanted one of those....sooo bad..very rare just an all around better setup than the st165...to bad you recked it...I found one here for 6500 the guy was willing to accept 5000..so expensive, me and a couple friends were almost fighting about who was going to buy it..lol

i was gonna buy one from some dude in staten island, but he wanted like $8500, it had like 120k on teh clock, but it had some nice upgrades, but i dunno to me it dint feel like it was worth it...it was a nice red with the trd hood on it...madd sexxxxyy haha, maybe i shoulda taken it..but tehn again i wouldnt have my supra

was it in a shop and had the reverse scoop hood? if so I know who ur talking about... he said he'd give it to me for $4500 but I didn't have the money at the time :(

oh damn yea...it was a red one with teh reverse hood scoop, had like a mesh over it...dint know why he wanted soo much for it...i think he ended up posting it on ebay or somtin

yea... I believe he did sell it on ebay for like $5500ish... Wish I woulda had the money when he said I could have it for 4500... that was a decent deal

bastard...he dint offer 4500 to me.....probably woulda bought it for that price, oh well...

I'm an all trac chick ;) I get special discounts and stuff :P Actually, because I know sooo many celica guys, I do get alot of discounts... so if anyone wants after market stuff I can prolly get u a discount on it ;)

i woulda been an all-trac guy, if i bought that car, but im glad i dint and now im the supraman, im cool with that

you have a vehicle sales section in that all-trac forum? i might post a wanted ad....

yes we do :) There are actually quite a few for sale right now... Just wish I had the money to get another nice one :( gotta wait
