2zz-ge swap info

right now i'm debating what car i should get after i graduate. I'm definitely set on mid-engine rwd. why? because i want speed and handling. Right now i'm considering just buying an elise and keeping it stock, buy an MKI, strip it, and swap a 20V, or buy the MKIII, strip it, and swap a 2zz-ge.

1) which one would you recommend?

2) i heard the 2zz swap in an MKIII is difficult and people experienced a lot of drivetrain problems because the chassis/drivetrain isnt meant to support the power. can anyone who has experience elaborate? is it a worthwhile endeavor? or should i just forget the swap and weight reduction stuff and stick with the $40k elise?

You might want to check out the MkIII forum on www.mr2oc.com for swap info. Another good one to check out might be www.spyderchat.com.

My budget Elise

Im in the process of a 2zz in the MK1 right now. Bolting it in is not all that difficult. Redoing the fuel system and evap was pretty simple too, once I figured out what I was doing. Wiring is going to be the most difficult as I have finally been able to source my JDM engine. Its from a Corolla Fielder (minivan) in Japan only. 190hp @7600 rpm and 133 ft/lb @6800 and using the 6spd C60.

Some info for my swap can be found on www.MR2OC.com
...and a link to some of the pics: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2255550
