cheers Armoredfist! I am seriously contemplating just selling it now and go out and buy a new one :) If anyone knows anyone who might be interested in buying the car drop me a message for more info! the car is still running and driveable :)

Thanks for the advice! I had been considering changing to the 190 before i found out about the problems anyway :) its the oil burning issue ive got as well plus its lead to the timing chain starting to fail. Not so bothered about the insurance to be honest just wanna keep my beloved Celica!! Lol much appreciated for the help Scarlett Arrow!! :D

hey everyone :) I have a 2002 Celica 1.8 VVTi (140) and have just been told the best thing to do is to either get rid of my beloved car or get a new engine!!! Ideally I don't want to get rid of it but if I could find a replacement gen 7 Celica i'd be more than willing, providing I can get rid of the one I have. Now, im no expert in mechanics and such but im looking at putting another engine in the car whether it be a straight replacement (with which I know theres issues) or an upgrade to the 1.8 VVTLi (190) or the older ST185, 202, or 205 engine but im not really sure about how to go about it?
