I wish this is what Lotus did with the US Elise. The K20 is FAR superior to the Celica GTS motor.

The sickness
Like someone mentioned earlier someone does these swaps over in England, probably the same company. The acceleration times were redicilous from the Elise with these motors. The mount kit alone was like $6-7000 .

Default Re: RWD K20A conversion (PRE SHE ATE ME)

All I have to say is I've had the opportunity to somehow talk my way into driving one of these impressive machines at a dealership, with just the Celica engine. All I can say is that it was far too much car for me, and now you've gone and taken such an impressive machine a refitted it with a k20? Are you people insane!

Impressive....That car is going to haul ***.

You will fit MUCH better than I did. It is impossible for me to drive that car anywhere near a decent comfort level. I am 6'6" and its just a nasty bad fit. My dad was going to buy one if I were to fit, but of course I didnt so we had to settle with an STi
