ok, i have a 95 hatch st automatic, i want a 200hp+ manual, should i swap out the trans for a manual, then swap a 3s-g(t)e into it?

or just enjoy this one for a while and look for a gt manual, and swap that?

idk if im stubborn, or sentimental... but i do love my car...

your thoughts...

Dude, the ST is a great fuel efficient daily driver. Keep your eyes open for a GT that's body is in good condition but has a blown motor. Usually people get rid of em for cheap. Then swap the motor out and voila! fuel efficient daily and a monster toycar.

"What?"
"Just do it."
".......He said yes."
"Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up."
".......Sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."

This was my plan when I was looking for a Celica to buy. Problem is, that Toyota makes their cars too dang well. tongue.gif Look around. It's honestly almost impossible to find a Celica with a blown motor. Mine now has 225K, and is still going (fairly) strong.
