I talked to XAT racing yesterday about the stage 1 and 2 swap that we talked about here the other day...its a good price and they seem like pretty decent guys! i asked some questions got good answers but forgot one major thing...i forgot to mention I have an automatic. the guy said that i might as well get a GT that is manual so that the swap would go easier (and cheaper) im glad i talked to the guy at XAT because the shop here in charlotte seems like they have the know how, but i dont think they really know what theyre gettin into....oh well...im thinking that maybe i should just give up the whole dreamer thing of the 3s and get a honda or something like every other schmuck in charlotte...GUYS PLEASE TALK ME OUTTA THIS im in one of those moods again....

I was in your exact shoes my friend, and sadly i sold the ceilca and bout a dsm...the only thing i miss about my celi is that it never broke on me, but since your lookin at a honda, realiablity wont be an issue...so from one tuner to another, sell the celica and get something tunable....someone said a crx, and that might be the best way to go...you could get a shell for like 500-1k bucks(must be and si, four wheel disc brakes, nice seats..etc) then drop any b series in....or you could do what this kid did..get an ls or gs teggy motor, built the **** outa it..dartin sleves, pistons, cams..etc, then turbo. This kid i know off runs consistant 11's..jus some food for thought
