I'm talking about the 2nd or 3rd gen engines (157 - 170hp)... Those engine are pretty cheap after a short investigation..and should be a super easy drop in!

I think it should be a pretty big bang for the buck..one can surely keep the stock transmission without risk of blowing it up, same fuel pump, etc...

I was thinking about doing that by ordering a Curren front clip and getting a 3rd-gen 3S, but now I'm not sure what I'm doing with the car anymore, might go the projectors way...

There's a guy I know on celicatech who is running a third gen. I've swapped a BEAMS into a 5th gen also. The issue with the 3rd gen is that it's really hard to find, other than that it's a great swap!
