almost every 1 bashing the 2nd gen.

If you're aiming big, then start big. Smaay is only right in this instance because you're skimping $300 on the foundation of this build (your initial selection of motor) yet you're talking about a build that will run you into the 10's of thousands. If you can't afford $300 then you can forget about seeing anything above the factory 220 engine horsepower (minus whatever its lost in the past 20 years)
im not looking to break land speed records. 350hp is basically unseein in the town i live so y bother with going and doubling it. like i posted when i stared this topic 350-400hp is wat im aiming for. do i know if its going to happen or not, no. just like no one knows if they are going to wake up tomorrow morning.
and, not that its any of your business but yes right now i cant afford the extra $300. 5 month old baby at home and the wife just got custody of her 2 kids back SO NO i cant afford the extra 300 bucks. back a year ago when i bought the motor u know what i saw when looking at it. i saw a 3sgte for 900 bucks. which is a f***ing steal for these motors.
if i wanted to go with a better build i would have saved up more and bought a mr2 and swapped it or found 1 of the 3 '83 celica supras in the state i live in and bought 1 of those then swapped it. but no i bought what i could afford. which is a 1996 celica st and a2nd gen motor. frankly idfc what every 1 has to say about the 2nd gen motor bc the motor can still be built for my power goal.
now if we can actually stick to the topic at hand that would be great
