MK1.5 beams or 3sgte information needed!

boycelaforest · 06-24-2009, 05:09 PM

Hey everyone! Right now I am at the point of purchasing a engine. I still cannot make my mind up between 3sgte, 3sge or 20v.
My only concerns with 3sge or te is weight distribution. From people that have done the swap:

1.Have you had your car corner weighed?
2.How much does it weigh overall?
3.Did it effect the handling so much that you had to change rear springs or suspension setup?
4.How fast is it 1/4 mile?
5.Do you wish you would have swapped a hamster wheel powered by midgets on PCP into your mr2 instead?
6.Why is mr2oc.com so slow? Is Brian running the server off of midgets?
7.Would you ever date a midget?

1. No (I want to)
2. Light as fu** (race prepped ie gutted)
3. Had harder springs in the back anyway but handles awesome and extra torque helps on corner control on loose surfaces
4. No idea I only rally it
5. Maybe one day
6. Possible midget strike
7. Depends how rich they are

Note: I have a gen2 3sge not a 3sgte I haven't added the turbo yet, I'm doing that over the next few weeks. Still an awesome car, rooster tails on gravel FTW
