So a little history. Have had my 94 st for over three years now. Has had two motors in it. Stock one was neglected so i replaced it with a 95 with half the miles. All the car has done to it is the basics. Short ram intake, exhaust with ebay header, dropped 4 inchs on drop zones(cheap rout i know but im happy with them. Voxx 7.5 rims running 205/40-17s. I love thos car. Cant believe i almost got rid of it for a genesis coupe. Havent done anything to the car in the past year because i bought a bike. But now im back in the car game and ready to spice her up. Have considered many options on what i could do to make then realiable eco friendly cheap slower then a single cam civic motor some pep. Yes ive gone over the 3sgte and 3sge swaps. Honestly there not for me. I almost turbos my car 2 years ago but lacked funds and patience. So the other day i took a drive up to virgia to visit a fellow 6gc owner(or have a one. Hes parting his car). I pics up some goodies from him for a good price. Dont wanna spoil anything. Pics will be up soon on what i got and what my intentions are.

Thanks guys. Looks at others 7a builds i should be able to hold well over 200hp. Im curious to see how it turns out myself. Im not looks for monster power like a 3s. If i wanna drive a stupid fast celica i just have to call ben and soon bobby as well. Im looking for agility. Something i can throw into a corner and come out of it with more speed. I dont see highway pulls as much fun as something that barrels through and out of corners. Everything im doing is for useable power at any speed not just 3rd gear half the time.
