3SGTE, Worth The Hassel? Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

I hear people on the boards praysing their 3s but ya know, is it worth the time, and trouble. I heard some horror stories from people who drive an MR-2 near where i live and he has a 3 and he is constantly getting something fixed on it. Just curious?
Thanks,

I hear MR2's just have history of having lots of bugs in em.

I've been thinking of doing the swap too for awhile. But you gotta figuer, it's at least a good $5,000. And you can get good money outta ur car DJ. Depending on miles, about 8 or 9k. With 13k you can get an FD. So why pay all this money to have a 14sec fwd car? You could have a drifting rwd 13 sec car?

But then, all the "cool" cars you'd buy with that 13-15k are most likely rwd, and you cant drive in the winter (that well). And the insurance would be high, so would the parts.

And you have to have in the back of your mind, if you 3s swap, you need to swap the tranny one day too. There's another heahache and 800-1,000 bucks.(guessing on price, done by shop) It never ends.

I love my celi and would wet myself to have a 3s. But 5k? Um...i dunno. I think I may just buy a bike instead. Bikes run 11's stock and are a girl magnet.
