Ain't being an ass. Just proud of my car. Just like everyone else is, and everyone says their car is better than everyone else's....because it's your car you think it's best. I'm no exception.

And the "no replacement for displacement" isn't always true. The KA24DE engine from Nissan isn't as versatile as the SR20DE. Besides the fact that the KA24DE has an iron block, the SR20DE engine is much better. Oh well, I guess this is irrelevant information shouldn't be considered since we're on a Toyota Celica forum, but if you ask any Nissan guru they would say the SR20 is better than the KA24 for getting power. So I guess since we are on a Celica forum let's look at the 2.0 3SGTE which has .2 L less of displacement than the 5SFE. Less displacement, but more power.

I suppose it all depends on what you're talking about too, like stock HP or HP with performance upgrades.

Anyways, to actually comment on the original topic...
Way to go on choosing to go with a car that already has boost. Very nice, and yeah that engine will take a beating so have fun man!

Oh, and thanks to K2 for agreeing with me on the potential of these rotary motors. :-D Props!

And to GT2GT4...I see about 5 a day...sometimes more. I know just in my city, not surrounding areas...there's a gsx, gsx, gst, gst, gs. Just in my city of 60k people. I see more MKIV Supras around me than 3rd gen RX7's. I guess it's where you live.

i cant even count how many DSMs i see a day. fact is i could see anything and everything on any given day....speaking of which im going to scan up some of my Woodward pics i got back for you guys... give me a few minutes and check the OT forum.

tons of dsm's out here too.

I see them all over the place here as well. I've only seen three RX-7's that I can remember though.(well, plus several old school ones)

Jon:)

Im sorry but who gives a **** how common a car is? You can always make your car unique...and everyone says the 6gc is rare I see like 5 on my way to work everyday...now if you wanna talk about a common car...look at the mustang..those are everywhere you cant turn your head without seeing one somewhere..and ill admit Eclipses are common but how many of the are GS-T or GSX not too many where I live..I havent seen a GSX in a few months and GS-T in like a week or so...

But honestly who cares why cant everyone just be happy that someone is getting a car that they would rather have.

Also to the guy with RX-7 saying hed rape the dsm or whatever....you obviously didnt read the link i posted or this one

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread...highlight=600hp

BTW the video can be located here 611HP 2G Eclipse

I realise this is a celica board and I realise the fact that im gonna get ****..I just think that the people who post on this topic should either be happy or at least have something positive to say or dont post on it at all...

When I first got my celica I loved it...now its just time to move onto something better (IMO) I just cant justify spending 5 or 6 thousand on just an new engine...let alone the fact that i have a ST Coupe...and im pretty sure I would spend an arm and a leg trying to find a newer 5sp hatchback GT...I also do realise that the 3SGTE is a bad ass engine...but honestly how many people can even afford to build it up to its full potential..and by the time you spent that much you might as well have bought a Supra or something

Please dont flame me foranything Ive just said..Im just trying to get the point out that he amongst others on this board probably want something else and just to be happy for them

I think its funny how everyone on this site talks about the 6gc "family" and "community" but everyone (including myself) rags on other people when they choose to get another car that they like.

who says that you have to like it? no one talked crap about Jared when he got that ford probe.

No one talks bad about Charlie now that he has a Mazdaspeed Protege

No one talks bad about K2 now that he is getting an MR2.

I just think we should all get along and be happy for the fellow 6gc'ers when they get a new ride.

im not flaming or ripping him, i just say they are unoriginal IMO. if he wants one sweet, they are great cars, read everything ive wrote so far, all ive done is point out some flaws the car has, which all cars have their downsides. and not EVERY turbo dsm crankwalks, its just one thing that tends to be weak on the car. we have a 1st GEN GS, i like the car alot, got a great ride and handles really well, my only compaints are power and weight... obviously a turbo model would take care of that.

now if him or myself were to get a 1st gen 4g63 it would be a different story >>

Hey man. You don't need to be all up on it and crabby. lol. I'm just proud of my car that's all.

And I guess I was in a crabby mood before too so that added to my attitude. But anyways, hey man...wahtever you get...whether it's DSM or not...as long as it's boost...it's better than no boost! So yeah man, keep us informed on what you decide to get!
