my new daily driver...6gen celica GT 5-speed, mint condition, bone stock with working AC and orig 260M miles. Although this motor is expected to run over 350M miles, a 3SGTE transplant is in the plan to give this daily driver a little kick in the ***. Thats cheaper than buying a new car that I will end up tweaking anyway.

How much power on the current engine and how much will be on the next engine?

That car looks immaculate for 260k miles. Congrats on your purchase.

As is, it is faster than a speeding FC (N/A of course). I have to wait probably until the Thanksgiving day sale and take advantage of 50% off, say less than $100 for a short block 2.2 liter for now. LOL

16x8 and theres 2 different offsets depending on which model you get them from. The best notation I've seen used to describe them is using the star-like pattern in the wheel surrounding the lugnuts. One model wheel has the broken star, the other is an intact star. One is a low offset that requires a roll and possibly a flare to fit under stock FC fenders, the other requires just a roll.
