Some dings, dents, and issues but $5K for a solid engine and trans with only 150k ain't half bad. Debonair, I'm in Sacramento, Norcal! Will never go back to Socal! Sorry lol

The plan is 200 mph! First is to sort out the various little quirks that come with a gs I'm finding. I have the standard door lock problem which I'm told is the BCM. If it turns out to be the actuators I'll have the DIY, smokes, and something to throw tools at cause that looks like a complete pain. And of course there's the shake at 60 which is ok cause I'm planning on a full suspension anyways. Finally, the rear defroster and high beams don't work. I'm petty sure its the relay for the defroster and the switch for the lights.

So if you wanted to reach 200 mph here what would your guys game plan be? I'm thinking NA-T but not sure of the transmission to use

Bippu147, I'm still on the fence about gte or na-t, but looking at the swift kit I'm finding myself leaning more in favor to na-t. It's just such a complete and upgradable assembly for around what a swap would cost if done right.

Thanks TLcoats, I'll look into that.

lol....no it's not. NA-T is a hackjob, and it will affect the longevity of your car. Do it right the first time and drop a GTE into it.
