ill try get one on might be a bit hard... but im mainly going for engine mods any suggestions thinking cheap and if i was going to get new engine what would bolt right in or be good?

nothing will bolt directly on you car aside from 3/4/5/7K motors. imo, don't waste your time with those motors. parts are hard to come by. get a 3TC motor from the 80s Corolla. NA or turbo that engine will be excellent. but if you're all out modding and spending all your money, drop a 3S-GE or 3T-GTE

Thanks well my budget is quite small so the 3TC sounds like my best bet

1200cc = 3K
1300cc = 4K

there are some bolt on parts but you need to find 'em.

I guess you missed this part of the post... they're not like Civics.. so "bolt-ons" will be very very and I stress the very.. hard to find.

ok... contact this ACE Engineering (here's the link http://ace.tupeck.com/) and talk to Conrad Andres. his running turbocharged 4K in his KP61. he should be able to help you out.
