New Engine Required For 03 T Sport (190)

[danped]

Hi,

Today I discovered my 114k mile 03 reg tspot has a knackered engine. Garage tells me he can put another engine in if I can get hold of one and its probably not worth taking the current one apart to rebuild it.

Can anyone advise me what kind of engine I am looking for and where I might find one and how much it might cost? I literally have no idea where to start on this one...but I do love my celica.

Thanks,

Dan

Log onto celica-club.co.uk and look in the corporate section. You'll see someone called "AMS". Send him a PM asking if he has a 2ZZ at the moment, he regularly breaks Gen 7's, so you may be in luck. Take it from me, he can be trusted implicitly.

Don't be tempted to buy a reconditioned 2ZZ, the majority have been rebuilt to a poor standard, and many don't last long before expensive faults manifest themselves.

Good luck with AMS, Dan (by the way, he's based in Birmingham).

Thanks - I'll give that a try.
