Default SR20DET engine in a SC

Just wondering what you guys think about swapping a AT SC300 with a MT SR20. Of course your gonna lose a hell of a lot of power but thats not the point. The point's to make it somewhat lighter for drifting. Or would 2jz do as good with a MT and a turbo?

you won't lose weight with a 1jz, maybe 50lbs?

The kid doesnt need to be looking at SC300s in the first place if you're concerned about weight (or being ultra cool dorifto master like pikachu!)

...actually that quote was pretty stupid. everyone is entitled to their opinions and what they want to do with their cars. if the guy wants to drift lets him drift. wtf does pikachu have to do with drifting?

easy fellas. i agree that an SR would b e a waste, but if you got the cash, why not try the 3S? we have been through this before, and i think i was the only one that wants to see it. its not just about weight, its about orrigionality. look at all the HUGE names over in japan, they have all sorts of wierd swaps. they put a 3S in an arristo (GS300). i stand firm... it would be cool. as for the SR, i agree... but a 3S would deffinately be different. to that, if he can do it, i aplaud him.

oh, and welcome to clublexus.
