Going About It All Wrong?

[SoCalLove]

Oh, only 6. That's not that bad. I guess I'll get the MR2 for sure. No thanks, I don't have enough money for 6 MR2's...

So back on topic, are there any cars that I listed earlier that you guys would recommend? Thank you.

i can tell you what i wouldn't recommend. that is any toyota celica. those cars are rubbish and has no power potential in the future. they use the 2.2 liter camry 4 banger. that gives you a hint of what kind of aftermarket it has.

i would go for the SE-R. the SR20DE is a very nice engine.

not the all-trac... awd/turbo toyota with the mr2 engine. just hard to find.

and the n/a 2nd gen mr2's have the 2.2 as well...

[SoCalLove]

Okay, thanks. Any other opinions? Does the G20 have the SR20DE too though? One of the main reasons I'm asking is because I haven't seen very many 200SX SE-R's for sale. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

[PWRDbyUNCLEbens]

You should be looking for an SE-R sentra. The G20 has the sr20de but it is heavier, and costs more although a much better everyday car.

[SoCalLove]

Okay, thanks. So, aren't the Sentra SE-R and the 200SX SE-R the same car? Are there any major differences?

Also, if anyone else feels that there is a better car in my list besides the Sentra or 200SX please tell me because I would like to hear all the sides of the argument.

Thank you.

Edit: Also, I was doing some research and I read that Audi/VW 1.8T's are pretty fast if you "chip" it. Could someone please explain to me what this means? Also, would you recommend an Audi/VW 1.8T for me?

Bump.

As a BMW owner, I can say that if I wasn't in a Bimmer, I would most definately be in an Audi. The 1.8Ts, like most turboed cars, are detuned from the factory. If you send in your ECU to Neuspeed, they will retune it and send it back, and you can get major HP gains out of that alone. Neuspeed is actaully really well priced, and it doesn't take to much work to get power out of those 1.8Ts. The only thing I don't like is that you have to send the ECU in, so your sans car for a short period. I think they pay for shipping though.

A cousin of mine has a chip, exhaust, intake, an aftermarket BOV, short throw and some other small goodies on his Audi A4 1.8T (I'll ask him for the full list next time I talk to him), and when I rode in it/drove it, it fucken moved.

Uhm ... there are a lot of different Celicas out there.

Including the All-Trac which is AWD and has the turbo engine (3SGTE) that is in Hyde. I assure you, there are seriously fast Celicas out there.

i beat ya to it (read my post lol)

Okay, thanks guys. Do you think that if I can find a VW/Audi 1.8T for fairly cheap I should go for it? Also, how much MPG does the 1.8T get since I'm assuming they differ from the standard model.

I definately like the look of the 90's Celica too so if you guys think that's a good option that's also looking good.

The standard model is the 1.8T, it is the lowest model from Audi/VDub. I would definately go for it if you could, as they can be made very fast for fairley cheap. And if you stay of the pedal durring every day driving, you'll get decent miliage.

[SoCalLove]

Wait, so like the normal Volkswagen Jetta is the 1.8T? I thought it actually had to say 1.8T to be a 1.8T. Anyways, how much would it cost to "chip" it? Also can you chip and VW? Or only certain models? If so, which ones?

Thank you.

[CassiesMan]

Well...unless it says VR6 or other wise, the standard VDub/Audi you'll find has a four banger, 1.8T in it. To find chip costs, go to Neuspeed's website, and just select whatever moddel your looking at.

[SoCalLove]

Okay, thanks. Sorry for the really stupid question but I can't seem to find their chips. I looked at their catalog section but didn't find much. All I find was this but it didn't really help much:

Do you recommend that I go with an Audi or VW? Also, which model do you guys recommend? I think I may go with VW as they seem to be cheaper and they get better gas mileage. If I'm wrong please tell me.

So, could someone please tell me what "chipping" does? I'm still kind of unclear on that. I researched a little and didn't come up with much.

Also, I should get the same gas mileage as the stock model, right? I just want to clarify.

Thank you and I'm really sorry for all of the questions guys!
