    If it's gonna be your DD then I would not. If anything breaks you can't just go down to the parts store or junkyard to pull it. We are talking about a 30+ year old car... Things are gonna go wrong.

    Is it cooler than a E30, sure. Better, not really.

    I've wanted to put an SR20 Turbo in one for 5 years now. Hell, wanted a 2002 since i was 12 or 13...tried to convince my parents braces were not nearly as good of an investment as a $2k BMW 2002 I found in the AJC Classified. I got braces, lol.

    Not when Erin's setup was available back then with a conservative 330whp...it's an extremely lightweight and small engine with a lot of potential. 1439/2000's blue 2002 with Erin's SR20 would have been a killer car!

    Everyday I debate why i'm doing an M52 with a turbo when I could have the same power for less money with a normally aspirated LS6 & 6-speed that probably weighs 100lbs less. 400hp all aluminum V8 in an e30? Game over.

    None of the 2002 photos are fair...

    OP isn't looking to buy a car like that. Most 02s for sale are shit boxes.
