Car thoughts, Need opinions Options

[NaderG]

I bought my Celi almost a year ago , i had really high hopes for modifying it and everything . I searched the internet for parts , no luck there !. I found 6GC and looked into the 5sfte project, 3sgte swap and V6 swap. they all cost a considerable amount of cash and require alot of time and experience , which i dont really have. I love the Celi's styling and handling. I love that it is not so common around here making it very unique. yet everytime i get behind the wheel i am a bit disappointed , we all know there is NO power in the car.

I am really thinking of selling it and buying another ( used ) car that already have around 200 HP, but there is nothing out there that matches the styling of the celica. I wish i can make it faster but i am way too inexperienced and it would cost around 4-5K , which in addition to the approx. sale price of the car add up to almost 10K , which is slightly less than the money needed for another already-fast car.

I need opinions of whether i should keep it and try to mod it or sell it and get something else , now we all like Celicas and i know everybody's opinion is baised but i am a college student who is about to transfer to university with very little time and no Beater car !!

also , what kind of car would u recommend ?? i was thinking of something like a :
-BMW E46 ( sells for about 12-14K )
-believe or not a procshe boxter 98-99 , about the same price but insanely high insurance and parts
-A V6 mustang ( i know it is a low quality car and the streets are flooded with them , but i always liked them)
-a 2000+ V6 eclipse
-

any suggestions on a car ?? any suggestion on more power ( that is cali legal ) ??

please help em out on this , i cant make my mind up

You dont have to look further the 3sge stock already boost around 180hp mark and the BEAMS is around 200hp.

The point of any project for most ppl is to learn how things work so that when something goes wrong you can DIY and save on $$, for me I like the sensational feeling after you're done and seeing it runs.

Of coz I can always sell my car go on buy another car and in the end still have some cash left over, but diff ppl have diff point of view. If I were to choose a car in ur list I wud have chose the boxster, have always love it since I was little.
