A stock turbo for the SR20 is like $100-$200, it's not expensive at all.

Well that ain't bad. But it's got other probs too from the description. Maybe you could trade him your camry for it or sell the camry and then buy. Your car is worth alot more than what he is selling at.

Ok, here's a list of cars that you might like.

240SX - S14 Models, S13 might be too old for your tastes.
SC300
IS300
RSX Type-S - 6-spd K20 version.
Integra - Must be GSR because those have VTEC and makes more power than the other trims.
WRX
Celica - Maybe... just maybe
Scion tC
Miata

I would love to have a bike, but in MD we get snow, so without a car I would be f-ed. That is later to come.

Those are def up on the top of my list. The only prob is that I have to buy a car by next tuesday cause my rental is up then. You really think that Tiburon is not a good deal?

The Audi Quatro 2.7 is known to have a lot of problems... that's why the price is so low.

I know that, I'm just saying in general. JDM engine swaps or swaps from another car will be illegal.

The turbos fail prematurely in those cars.

Hey you guys missed out a cool meet tonight. There was one RX8 at the signal hill meet. There was a good turn out of Mazda 3's more than a few MS3's and a set of MS6's.

So yeah what's going on tonight, what's this the people on MOCC don't know how to drive?

LOL so we are going to go check out Paris do a fire dance? I'm bringing a bunch of nickles to chuck at him, see if I can't make him lose his concentration.
