That Paul guy is on the Scion commerial! I hella wanna be like him. How do you get to be in a commercial? Ive honored Scion by spending 10K to make my car good looking. They need to honor me by letting me get in that commercial. Id even be willing to do the motor swap to get on TV

We spoke to Christian Rado at SEMA IAS. He told us that he and his company (world-racing) are working close with Scion to develop swap kits for the xa/xb that will use the tC motor. It sounded like wishful thinking and big dreams to me, but we will have to wait and see.

Not an engine freak, but is the engine on an 87 Celica GT hatchback too big for minimal cutting to swap?
