lol.... 1/2 cuts aren't that cheap everywhere else..... i can understand that in cali they're cheap..... but they're a bit more here (or adding on extra shipping from california doesn't help either).

i guess mainly my thing is i really don't care about 1/4 mile.... and i've built my car for lightweight and non peaky n/a power all for auto-x and road course.... which it's great for.  And after i did my 4a-ge swap (using a 4a-fe ecu & wiring harness, with a tuned ecu) and it was so simple (done in 5 1/2 days) compared to a more custom job (ie silvertop 20V... like coomers which took a SHOP 6 months)..... kinda makes you wanna help others in the simplest way possible.....

like i said... it's all my opinion....

I know what you mean.

In Coomers case and my case... the shops were just being difficult. Mind you, my swap took longer (1.5 years) because the shop I went to kept putting other people's cars ahead of mine just to keep the cash flow going and it spent about 6 months of thta time in the body shop. What I should have done was take my car to someone who works out of their garage, like what my teammate did. A swap shouldn't take very long. It's the wiring that will take a while, but from what sphinx told me, Mike did his wiring in less than 2 weeks.

I know you're trying to help, which is a good thing. But this is what I think:

It totally depends on one's goals. Is a 3S-GTE swap worth it in a AT200? Well, to best answer this question, I would have to say that the answer would be totally based on (and relative to) ones goals and expections. If someone is seeking 250+ HP easily with not too much modifications, go with a 3S-GTE. If someone is seeking decent power, go with toyotaspeed's suggestion, the 4A-GZE swap. I knew that I wouldn't be content with a 4A swap, and I wanted to have a ST205 Hybrid (minus the AWD of course), which is why I went the 3S route.
