i've spent a fair bit on my seca sx, not all of it was necessary but i decided to go all out and do the lot just so i knew that it was all in good condition.

all up i'd say i've spent around ~$7000 Rolling Eyes

that includes a 20v conversion, all new suspension, bucket seat and the simmons that are on it now. this wasn't all necessary but it was what i wanted to do to it. the original 16v was pretty shagged and needed replacing and that's where the majority of the money has gone with the 20v conversion. if you pick one up thats had a replacement engine put in you'll be cheering. the 4AGE's cop a lot of abuse and just keep going.

all that is left to do on mine is just tidying up some imperfections in the body, small spot of rust and a dent from where some tool kicked it when i parked it out the front of a mates place.

you could easily grab a tidy sx for $5000 that won't have any issues. they are starting to go quite cheaply so i'm sure that you could pick one up with modifications similar to mine for around $6500-7000

the one advantage i've noticed about the rolla over the 162's that i've owned is just the convenience of having a 4 door car that can comfortably have a passenger in the back seat.

i'll admit that i miss the torque of the 3SGE but the revability (if thats a word) of the 4AGE is what makes me prefer the rolla.

either way they're both be a great daily driver and i'm sure that you'll be happy with whatever one you chose. both are a joy to drive and you'll be stoked wih the performance and also reliability.

comparing the 2 i'd rate the 162 as a sports car and the 92/3 with suspension work as a go kart Razz
