Well, since winter is starting and I am not planing on doing anything to my celi cuz its a 1.8L Auto and its mainly a SoundQuality car now. Well now I am planing on saving up money for my next project, by next summer I'll probably have around 6-8G's to spend on it. So here are two choises that I have to make.
I wanna run the car all year round so it will be like my daily driver. I live in NY.
1) MR2 91-94 and swap 3SGTE into it.
2) 240SX 91-94 and swap SR20DET into it.

Tell me what you think, i am pretty sure you will say to go with Toyota cuz of celica and all.
Thank you

haha Yes I have seen that thing.... nice....

so anyway...sr20s you can make more power but the reliability issue goes down. Oil pump always has the same problem then the motor blows up.

3sgte always makes power and its reliable.

Sr20/240 you see it everywhere it used to be uncommon but everyone has one now there not cool anymore.

you can make alot less power with an mr2 and run much better times because its obviously a mid engine. you see less mr2s than 240s.... there a completely differnt feel.

clips are so cheep now its not fair.... under 2k now usualy for a sr20... Im leaning towards the mr2 only because I have one. But driving both I like the mr2 much better.
