    No. A stock k series in a crx with slicks and a stock 3s in a corolla with slicks.

    Civic wins.

    Put on a boost controller and fuel pump on the corolla and its close.

    no offense, but I would save the money from the swap, sell your car, and buy something with more potential stock. maybe an mr2 turbo, if you like that engine. the overall resale value will be better that way, and youll have an mr2...

    Smartass comments? On IA? Never
    Actually, I can aprpeciate the fun of having something that is a lot faster than expected, hence why I have a fast s10 LOL
    Keep in mind that if you have FWD, you are always going to deal with the limitations of that if you want to make something quick.
    It all depends on how much disposable income you have. I dont know what your finances are, but I know from personal experience that it hurts like hell when you spend a shitload of money building a swap car, then you try to sell it, and its worth less than a stock version of the car you started with.
    There are a lot of cars that have a lot more potential stock, that you could have fun with and make a serious sleeper, but still keep retail.
    Build a mazda 323gtx...they are pretty cheap, AWD, turbo'd, and look like an econobox. Hardly anyone knows what they are, either.

    Yeah you are right about tuition but it is something i have always wanted so i am going to try my hardest to get it. I am going to work for BMW or Toyota. I like BMW cuse of the money aspect and then toyota because i love toyota cuse i own one and will try and never own a different tye of car.

    Ah ok....i didnt know if you were looking into the racing aspect. Cause Lanier tech has a good program for that. Save yourself alot of $$$. Also i have heard that Gwinette Tech has a very good mechanic program.

    Yeah i am going to start looking locally because I do not think I will have the money to go to UTI even with some type of loan. The bad thing is I have to find a place that accepts people with a GED.

    um havent looked into them, so not sure if they are ase certified but i bet they are. If not, you can just take the ase test on your own.
