well we got a 1995 gsx traded in today, and i can get it for cheap. always thought it would be fun to have a project car, or even use it as my winter beater. it needs some tlc but it seems to run pretty solid (other than the massive boost leak somewhere in the front mount piping). the thought of owning a car similar to a gt4 is tempting...

if you get one cheap, built it right, and dont abuse it and are aware of what the engine is capable of both postive and negative, they can be great cars. ive had several and only 1 had crank walk, the others had symptoms of high boost on an incorrect setup. current dsm is runnin strong for a while, and drags faster than most celicas on here besides tuffy etc... VERY fun cars for not alot of money.
as with anything so your research and im sure you will have fun. also an fyi the 1g engines are "better" than the 2g ones, but i love the looks of the 2nd gens. i vote yes and dont be a dumb ice about it =) -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
