Celia-Sue Forums Junkie Location: Perth Registered: October 2002	Re: What car to get? A sprinter perhaps? Help... Thu, 01 May 2003 02:13 Firstly, let me say that I LOVE old RWD Yotas like the Sprinter and the Celica-Supras and other Celicas. I allways thought of the St162 SX as a crappy looking FWD Camry0type car with a more sporty body shape. Like I say, I was pretty snobby and ran them down all the time.... Then my wife bought one a couple of years ago ($5.5K, manual 3SGE, mint condition). I take it ALL back. These are really well built, well designed cars that have a great feel to them and loads of low-down torque. Her car sh*ts all over me if we race (me in 6 clinder 2.8l auto Supra). After about 200,000 k's, the last engine died and we dropped a new 3SGE in (later model engine too!). Parts are readily available from Toyota and wreckers and it's a relatively easy car to work on. You've got a great little car there mate - FWIW, I'd put some of your $4K into modding it - for power or appearance (yeah, they are fairly common). BUT, make sure you get good advice on perfoprmance mods - talk to some of the list members who have worked their 3SGE's. I looked into doing a few little tweaks to the wifes car - but one of the problems is that these things were so damn well built in the factory that there aren't a whole lot of cheap mods for easy power gains. Enjoy! - Justin JZA-61 in progress [Report message to a moderator]
