1. An 18R-G swap will take bugger-all effort provided you get the right one to suit your car. Third-generation Celicas were available with 18R-GEU's from the factory, so if you get one of these it will definitely bolt in. I've never done an 18R-G conversion in an RA60, but it took an afternoon to do it in my RA23 and I can't see it being much different for you.
2. A Supra front end will definitely NOT fit. Completely different chassis forward of the firewall. Have you considered simply buying a Supra? You can pick up half-decent ones for $3k these days you know...
3. GTS wheelarch flares won't fit on your RA60; the actual guards are different on the GTS.
4. A different air filter will make jack-all difference. Cold air induction is always a good thing, but don't expect it to do much.
5. A 22R-E swap involves converting to EFI, which makes the job a little harder. I think it would make more sense to sell the car and buy an RA65 which already has a 22R-E in it.
