Are you looking for a car or something? I always find some good deal somewhere. They're always around $2000 for a GT with high miles. Lowest I found was $1300. So far its been once a month. Yeah, its always out of state, but going down to get it and driving back up is still cheaper than buying one here that'll cost around $4000.
girlfriend and i went all the way to kissame fl. straight through. it's about a 28 hour drive to buy a swapped mr2, and then trailered it home. 600 bucks in gas for a 1500 silverado.
damn 28 hrs...i dont think i want to go that far kindasad.gif

if anyone finds anything, hook me up smile.gif

does anyone know how much rs motors charge for a complete 3sgte swap including wiring, taking out the motor and droping it in from both the clip and the car?

wow, thats awesome. I went to this one place and got a quote for 1000, but I would have to get my harness converted for them.

some bad news on my turbo project kindasad.gif I need to clock the exhaust side and while truying to do it i snapped 1 bolt and then found out that it rusted itself together mad.gif time to spend even more money i guess rolleyes.gif


BTW Block there is supposedly another celica here in Princeton. I dont know anything about it but im gonna check it out on monday.


*edit* with a nothing to lose attitude, i decided to go out to the garage and and use the biggest hammer we have. to make a long story short it came off. but now i just need to deal with that broken bolt......
