    depends....how much investigating have you done on this alltrac? have you looked in all of the known spots for the very well known problems? have you thought about your budget? these all come down to choices.....can you live without your 162?......i would buy it and keep the 162 too....but thats just me......im sure you could find a spot to park it.

    After over 50 messages on Facebook, a car meet I was at tonight, and the fact that I'll miss my Celica very much, I've decided that I'll just keep my car and not get the Alltrac... Or at least not yet...

    Yessiree.

    I've never loved my car so much... :auto damn you guys and your st162 enthusiasm for making the Celicalitus grow even more in me. :tongue: Lol Jk
    Parents FINALLY approved of fixing it, so hopefully, I'll be able to drive it more in the near future. :)

    Now... 3rd gen 3sge? (oh no, here we go again... :crazy )

    Beams swap is probably gonna cost the same as a GTE...(too much)
    That, and it's doesn't exactly look like a stock motor. (you know, just in case some mean cop decides to pop my hood open and call it a racing engine or some BS like that... :cop )
    After all I plan on dumping my car on nice wheels and as you guys probably know, some cops might like to target and harass modified car owners...
    3rd gen 3sge looks pretty bland and stock IMO, which I like.

    That's why most people get JDM motors... Most are usually under 100K.

    But hey, if I go 3rd gen 3sge, you guys could take my gen 1 3sge. XD lol

    We'll see though.
