I'm almost positive that this won't happen, but the thought of selling my car and buying a five-speed silver on black '99 Infiniti G20 has crossed my mind lately. I'm sick of being harassed by the cops in my loud yellow coupe, and a quiet silver sedan won't attract near as much attention. Plus the G20 is a really sexy car in my opinion...they look good, handle well, are SR20-powered, and weigh less than 3,000 lbs. I posted a couple pics of a nice one below. That said, I don't think I could ever get rid of my Celica.
 Now if I were to sell my car, I'd first put in my OEM flywheel and a new clutch to solve my tranny problems. I'd also fix my hydraulic system. I'd repaint the front end of the car as well, with my current modifications completed. I'd sell the car with either the 18" wheels or the 17" wheels on it. The car has 117,000 miles on the chassis, with far less than that on the motor and tranny, which both function perfectly. So what do you guys think it's worth? I'm just kind of curious.

I've seen fairly stock silvertops running 5 PSI and reliably putting down 205-215 horsepower at the wheels with nothing done to the engine internally.  These motors are really built pretty strong and with the already high 11:1 compression, it doesn't take a whole lot of boost to get lots of power out of the engine. That said, most of the time a conversion to standalone engine management is a requirement when going with a turbo setup on a AE101 4A-GE. And I could never afford that right now...I'll probably end up painting my car gunmetal and going with some sort of a 2.25" mandrel bent exhaust system with a couple resonators and a Magnaflow muffler so that it's really quiet. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
