3SGTE DREAMS, not really dreaming but thinking Options

[zigy]

Well guys I was ready to do a 3SGTE swap in my '94 Celica ST (auto)
but when I received the estimate my head kind of buzzed.
Right now I have a midly modded car, bunch of bolt ons and
trigger happy with the NOS. All_Show_No_Go bodykit/styling.
But the car is still not fast enough.
I'm also owner of 95 Honda Civic EX with B16A3 and bolt ons.

Well not to bore you with details, lets just get down to the price
of the actuall automatic-to-manual and 7afe-to-3sgte SWAP!!!
-3sgte swap (anywhere from 200hp to 240hp - depending on year)
-MR2 or Celi GT 5-speed manual trans (expensive - automatic conversion)
-wiring and hard-to-find parts
-labor

: equals out to anywhere from $6,300 to $6,900
!!! Well since that equals out to almost 7 thousand dollars I was thinking
to putting that cash in my 95 Civic (b16), I will not have the looks with the
Civic but I'll have the speed !!!
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK .... WHAT SHOULD I DO......

Toyota's are higher quality.=proven fact Now that's out of the way... I personally love Civics. Especially the 93-95 SI hatch. Those cars can be in mid twelves for under 5k.

Toyotas=High quality is true, but same for honda... hondas can take just as much as toyotas and viseversa theyre both EXTREMELY reliable, i may give the edge to the civic though. toyotas trannys are less than smooth and are really the weak spot of the lines... while honda has definatly mastered the MT gearbox, it slides inbetween gears absolutely effortlessly.
