I said labor is gonna be free.. not parts. hehe. I'm not that lucky

Well the thing is. I won't have to pay for any labor.. Since my best friend owns a fully stocked garage.. heh..

Something to look into anyways

well I would buy a GT.. but I can't find one around here.. lol

But thanks for all the help guys

Not my auction, but maybe someone would be interested in it.. it's at 49.99 right now

I live about 40 miles west of philly. If ya need help with planning or any sort of suggestions about locations I can do what I can.

I just got my 97 ST (God. I want a bigger engine.. lol) And I like the forums

Carfax doesn't bring up all things..

My first car was a 93 Hyundai Scoope.. It had a cracked frame, was in 4 crashes, new tranny, new moter, and all sorts of problems.. Even had a Rebuilt title..


It had a clean carfax report..

Well screw that then.. hehe. ok, Since I have a lowely 97 ST (Ann Edition.. oooOoo) any suggestions for pumpin up the power a bit? And ones won't cost more then the car did

Other then intake and exaust..

Thanks!

A 93 MR2 Turbo. It was smashed in the rear end.. And is a mess from the front seat back.. No damage that we can see to the front end.. Got slammed by (oddly enough) a tow truck.. lol. He got the entire car for like 2 grand.. And will sell me the engine/tranny and anything else I need for the swap for 500-700 bucks (depending if I need to strip the entire engine out) he's taking everything that I don't need and selling it on ebay.. lol

oh yea, I also can get a 3S-GE for like 250 bucks.. If this one would be cheaper and easier to put in. I can "Settle" for only 175hp This is my first project of anything this size, and I'd like it to be as easy as uncomplicated as possible.. lol

For a low cost decent sounding system..

Go with a JL W0 12inch in a sealed box (cost ya about 200 bucks around here)

And for amps, it depends.. are you going to run your speakers off the headunit, or do you want to replace those factory stock ones?

If your staying with head unit powered, get a Sony Explod Mono Block Amp. it puts out about 200 watts, and you can get one for about 120.00 online.

If you want to power all 4 speakers, get a decent 200 dollar 4 channel amp, from a good shop. Remember the critical thing with car stereos.

it's not the amount of watts. its the quality of watts..

A Quality JL Amp (or other high end company) Will put out about 50-75 watts per channel.. This is MUCH better then some no name POS amp saying it puts out 200 Watts per channel. Seriously. the 50-75 watts will be louder then the 200 watter..

Just my 2 cents

I have a chance to buy a 3S-GTE engine for about 500 bucks (a buddy of mine owns a garage and got a car with it in that was hit in the back end.. heh)

Now, I have a 97 ST, how much more will it cost me not including garage costs ( said buddy will help me out with putting in it)

Thanks!
