that guy is spending a lot of money on that NA. did you know you can get a 4agze engine and trany off ebay, from JDM imports, for about 900-1200. bang-for-buck, I'd go with one of these engines, tweek it to 200hp. as far as that solara thing, one thing to remember POWER-TO-WEIGHT ratio. Yes, that solara will have more power, its also got a hell of a lot more weight to pull around, and its FWD(can you say-WHEELSPIN bad)I got rid of my 170hp contour because of that problem, good in the straight line though. you ever price a clutch for a ford duratecV6, $350+(parts) at the dealer. don't need that domestic crap. one thing I like about the MK1s is that they are a very simple sports car, no power steering, no slushbox(autotrans), no BS. and the cars are easy and cheap to work on.
