thanks again
what to do - 6G Celicas Forums
where's the 3sgte option?
Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D
i voted for turboing. and don't forget the manual tranny conversion.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
it is a question of $$ first.
GT-Four front will cost about $1200 for the parts + paint
turboing could get up to $2500+ and then the auto to manual swap.
do you want to look good or just be fast ? that is the question

turbo then later you can do some exterior mods

Get fast first, then look good doing it next.
I will return one day.
the 3sgte swap is another option. I forgot to put it in the poll though. I just enlisted in the Army and Im getting a 20,000 bonus because I have 4 years prior service and I am going to do infantry. Thats the cash flow that Im working with. I will get 10 up front and the other ten in a few years. Let me know what you guys think now that you know what I have for money
full gt-four conversion.... including the awd drivetrain.

I am going to go the other route on this one. I vote go for the GT-Four parts first.
my reasoning
The GT-Four front end will add a whole new feeling and appreciation to your car. The looks you will get from other drivers, the random people asking about your car, it's a good feeling (so I have heard). It will be a whole new car to you
Wait until you have done enough research to turbo. Then when you have done enough, do more turboing is a big investment and a huge amount of understanding is going to be needed. I am not doubting or questioning you knowledge in any way, keep that in mind. Manny is a great resource of info and the more we all learn the better. Also, if your wife is driving and something breaks, comes loose, or pops off there will be a lot of panic and worry.
all in all the choice is yours.

I find it strange on here as my 1st thoughts are 'sell it and buy a GT4' but i keep forgetting you cant buy them in America.
Is it really expensive to do a full conversion.. ie. 3sgte + AWD + exterior?
