Well, after a long time, I finally got my car running!!!

Took out the 18RG and replaced with 3TC (A Lighter practical motor, in my opinion)
18RG's and 2TG's are great motors, but parts are getting very expensive...

Hi dalta23,

Thanks for the kind comments, my celica was originally an RA model. with 18RC and later 18RG motor.

Thanks Kylehugo, unfortunately I sold my all my 18RG's..........

I decided to go 3TC because of it's durability, simplicity and practicality... On the plus side, 3TC's have incredible performance potential, and responds well to simple modifications.

Again, thanks for the kind welcome..........
