'94 celica

Well, humidity is not an issue. It's the salt. Finland is in the rust belt.

But actually fiat's work pretty well, actually.

For example 90's Renault's are much worse cars :-D

I thought about buying a lada (used to be popular here) and fit a kubota diesel in it.

I actually like those old Renaults, and they were very popular in Argentina and Uruguay. But if I were looking for a Renault from early-to-mid 90's I'd probably prefer one with either a Cléon or a Douvrin engine.

A Lada would eventually be also nice. I must admit I like the Niva. If it was still assembled in Uruguay I would eventually consider to get one.

Parts are not an issue, it's still made :-D

I know, and now it uses a Fiat Multijet turbodiesel engine. The point would be to import one duty-free if it was still assembled in Uruguay.

Anyway, instead of putting a Kubota engine into a Niva, why not a Toyota 2C out of a Corolla or a 3C out of an Avensis? Eventually it would also be interesting to consider if you'd rather want to keep the Celica...

I am keeping mah celica, of course, but after military service i'll start building it (if i get a job ) with mods like coilovers and some aero mods.

If the proposal of easing emissions laws goes through i am considering a engine swap into something more efficient.

I am still buying a commuter, maybe a Samara as they go here ridiculously cheap.
Then i'll start truly ecomodding it

There are lots of options regarding engines that would be still emissions-compliant in your Celica.

The Samara is a rare sight back here. I haven't seen one since July 2013...

You might know, in ancient times Finland has even been a part of Russia.

Zombie thread, but i've been looking on a JDM ST185 Celica that's on sale now. I have a commuter, so it would be a project
