I wanna spend $15,000 max

thanks alot Neophile.. that is aesome info..Im in NZ too any trying to weigh up wether to get a 97 Mitzy FTO, or a Beams engine Celica SS3,
also thinking of a GT4 96-98 but might be too expensive. I thought that wat eva I decide the cheaper option would be to direct import via a dealer here in NZ..what are your thoughts on importing and the FTO?

Whats are the differences with a 98 SS2 and a 98 SS3 (both stock)???

What are Splitters??

can anyone tell me if they hav much problems with there GT4(6th GEn).
I was told that cause they are turbo that you can expect problems is this true??

what is front and rear splitting?

Whats the difference between a 98 SS2 and a 98 SS3????
now that Ive decided to go with a Beams motor I need 2 decide wether to get SS2 or SS3

yeah but I wanna know why GT4 cause I dont know anything

Whats the Differences with the GT4 and a 1998 SS3
- Power?
-Performance?
-Reliability?
- interior Luxury?
Whats the latest year the GT4 came out?
IS there much of a price difference between the two?

Hey Khye its there much of a boost diffeence between ur car and ur dads SS3. Does the BEAMS kick in at a certain REVS like the Mivec (Mitsubishi)engine?

does the VVTi give a power boost at a certain Revs like the Mivec?
IS there a considerble power boost felt with a Beams as opposed 2 a non BEams?

So a SS2 can have a beams motor too??? Im gonna get a dealer to order import from Japan 4 me. Does anyone know what would be a reasonable New Zealand price to pay for a 1998 SS3 import?. Do all SS3 have BEAMS motor?

I am trying to choose between a Mitzibishi FTO mivec or Celica SS3.
Ive taken the FTO for a test drive and found it very responsive and what a awesome sound! But was disapointed with how rough it felt on the road.

I wana test drive a Celica SS3 to compare but cant find a yard in close proximity that has one..Questions:
1. whats the SS3 drive like?
2. has it got the kick of a mivec kickin in?
3. is it smoother to drive (than a FTO)
4. how much Hp does a stock SS3 produce(beams and non beams)
5.whats the power difference between SS2 and SS3 (of same year?)
6. for thoose that have driven a FTO mivec and the celica which do u prefer??
Please help meeee! Un biased comments would be good!
