So while looking around i found a steal on craigslist for a 90 celica gt4 full clip, now i would like to get the 3rd gen but i can get this entire clip for 1200 bucks with everything but fenders and hood, thinking about jumping on it but i really want that 3rd gen, so what would you all do in my situation?

If it were me, I'd go with something proven. Even though it might not be the cheapest available, I'd definitely buy a 3rd gen from Jim because I know he doesn't deal with bad engines, and I'd need reliability to be 100% that of OEM. It's also a bit of investment in power, as I think modified 3rd gens are known to be more durable whilst making more power than 2nd gens (correct me if wrong, 3S gurus).
