you'll also need the ECM and harness out of a corolla, matrix or celica to match the motor... try buying a complete WRITE OFF car from ICBC... i'll see what i can scrounge up for you in terms of info...

last to my knowledge, the trannies were identical... i have not xref'd the numbers in my EPC at work, but last i recall (driving them) the matrix XRS 6 speed was waaaaaaay too tall because of the increased tire size... which leads me to believe they are the identical transmission...

i just need the engine and tranny for what i need. harness and ecu are non issues.

how would i get access to icbc auctions?

also, it should mentioned the matrix is 10hp less then the celica.

And the corolla is also 170hp.

Maybe? Nothing much there right now though.

there is also http://www.newcelica.org/

but ive been using www.car-parts.com

was just hoping there was a place local that could get it for me

im not sure what their website is, but there is also a local 'team celica' in vancouver. perhaps that can help you out some more

Would a junkyard charge way more for an engine than normal? (i've never inquired at a junkyard on that) If not there is a junkyard in Abbotsford in the peardonville area...might be import auto.... that had a few new celicas in there....could be the gts

those cars in junk yards likely suffered car fires, or serious collision and roll overs... kuz it takes a LOT for a car like that to get a "dismantle only" title and not just given a total loss... salvage title for a rebuilder to repair and re-insure...

assuming the engine is intact, manually cranks over and the compression is fine, i would think one from an roll over would be ok no?

I think the ones there must have been serious collision, I know they weren't fires as I was going to buy the seats from them for my MKI. If you are looking them up Eric, its the one on Queen Street.
