by now we have a few members on here that did the 3sgte swap and about a million that dream about having it.
for all those who have a 3sgte in their fwd, tell us all the things you like and all the things you dont like about the 3sgte. please describe in detail your 1st impressions, street racing, and daily driving in your swapped celica and compare it to how things were before you got the swap. include pics and videos if you can! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

You know what I've been wondering? I'd really like to know what other people think when I smoke them on the freeway. A lot of people don't expect our 6th gen's to be that fast... especially those that do H22 or EG6 swaps. On my way up to San Mateo this past weekend, this prelude and accord tried to race me. It was funny seeings them get smaller and smaller in my rear view mirror. A volvo S60 even instigated a race on the Bay Bridge... it was pretty fast... but I still smoked him. I smoked him twice because he kept trying to race. After the second time... I just let him fly off because I didn't want to waste gas or risk getting a ticket.
I didn't get to see the reaction of the dude in the prelude and accord. But the guy in the Volvo was PISSED! LOL!! I looked at him when I slowed down the first time I smoked him... and he gave me this WTF? look and that Fawk U look! hahahaha Another time, this chick was driving a civic revved on me and tried pulling away. I don't shifted... and pulled next to her and look at both her and her boyfriend. I just smiled... blew off... and gunned it. Then I slowed down... and the boyfriend gave me a thumbs up. I'd really like to know what a lot of those people think tho. I've only seen reactions from two people that I've ran. I must say that the look on the Volvo kid's face was hilarious (Imagine an ugly asian kid busting out with the look that The Rock always does). Hahahaha I still can't get that look out of my head... it was just too funny... |
