We already each have Corollas that are destined for engine swaps this summer.

Old car for under $1000? Ever thought of going off the beaten path and picking up a mid-80s Volvo 240? Built like a tank, and can put a tough turbo in it too. Perfect sleeper. Nobody would suspect a thing. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

how bad is the snow where you live? my friend has snow tires/ lsd and he doesnt have a prob with the snow. but we live in milwaukee:dunno: turbo ka ownz sr, honestly, unless you want 350+ hp.
are you talking 1000+mods or 1000=car+mods???
btw, 323 gtx's are awesome. My friend has one and it runs 12s on a upgraded turbo. I havent talked to him in a while, so i forgot what his setup is like.

323 GTX's are HELLA rare here. I pray I can find one. Ive only seen one that was modded to shit and it went for 10gs CDN
