So I'm actually doing well savin some money now. and I'm pretty much debating what i should do next..
My car is: Decent paint, normal rock chips, w/ drivers fender and front bumper kinda bad stock 7A FE with intake & exhaust Stock suspension Stock headlight housings with HIDs.. im stuck with what to do next.. only problems are some clear coat coming off on the drivers fender, a bad motor mount, and bad throw out bearing. I'm leaning towards the swap, though. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

I like to say do what it is taht you wanna do next. Might not be what I'd do but that's alright. Personally I'd go the suspension before the swap. Handling then power.

I'd buy a primer & touch up paint to protect from rust and save the respray until you really need it (eg some idiot hit's you in a car park).
Like 97-SX said, get your car ready to make use of the extra power before you do the swap. |

The price range for all of those are different. No comparison between V6 swap and HID retrofit etc...
