As of right now, I am driving aorund in an '85 celica that just isnt fast enough to suit my tastes.
I have access to the skills, people, and shops to do just about any project I come up with, it's just a question of whether or not I can come up with the funds.
Heres my idea:
'85ish mkII (5 sp only)
convert to 6mge/7mge (cost/power differences?)
posssible turbo (6mgTe/7mgTe)
performance brakes
1" lower
fix any body damage and paint if required
My goal is 300-400 hp, without having to spend a lot of money, in something that I can drive without having to worrying about squirrelly handling and such.
I found one, mkII, sounds like its in pretty good condition, JMD 6mge installed 20k ago, all the options still work. The only problem, its about a 4100 km drive (round trip) to go get it. To get it to my front door, so far I've figured it out to be ~$5000 canadian (including border crossing). Is that worth it?
Also: what are the difference in work to install a 6m vs a 7m?
Thx for the help
