damn boom box i dont know how u have so much money only amkin 5 something an hour. thats nuts. do u have to pay for the car payment and insurance or no? must be nice. trouble for me is since i'm in ca i have to find a 2005 motor to keep it smog legal. and a crashed 05 corolla or celica gt is gonna be hard to find. if u swap run the 5 spd 1zz tranny do not re-use the stock one even tho it bolts up. and if u want the 6spd be prepared to cut lots of frame.

ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now

Ummmm. Im not sure where you're getting your engine swap, but that's not enough cash. $1500 bucks isnt even half the price. You need a full motor, AND a tranny... If you can buy a full swap for 1500 bucks let me know...

yea, but they have to break first, and I don't want to deal with it. plus its not a bolt on as stated.

I haven't decided, the 1zz is cheaper, but not by that much, and the 2zz has a lot more hp, but not that much more torque. so I was thinking a 1zz bored out and sleeved, with forged internals, I'd rather do that stuff before the engine is in the car, even though it will cost a lot. so who knows when I'll get it done. i'm sitting on 1500 now( once I return the air)
