nice is it a 5 speed?

i'd love to get another car like that for a few hundred bucks how did you come across it?

you should do that custom h22 swap like 10 people have done it ever.

Can you direct me to those people/sites. I have a 1990 Si with 4WS (completely original) in almost perfect condition with exception to oil burning. I would love to get some info on a H22 or better swap.

I always liked the 3rd gen. I was about to get one for a commuter as well, but I found my Datsun instead.

what motor would you guys suggest? K series? I still can't believe you got it for $100 it looks good. fun project.

outside of an H series motor, there isn't much that has been put in a 3g...i believe there was one guy in europe who was stuffing a K series in, but i can't seem to find the website...

either way, it's still a fairly pricey swap... i do believe preludepower.com has a fair bit of 3g owners on it, though it's slowly becoming a site i don't like...

if youre looking for a cheap commuter you should take out that carburated motor and just drop an LS into it. the complete swap is real cheap. or hell, gsr... OH sorry i know this is old but every once in a while i read the 3rd gen forum i used to have one still maybe my favorite car ever, lotta good memories in that car.. anyway good luck in your decision
