Which would you get?
Alright, here my question and money is not an object, so please leave that part of it out.
97 5spd oem
or
93 1JZ 5spd
I think I would get the 97 and go NA-T, what would you get and why?

97 5spd...A few reasons...
1) Glass High beams
2) Foglights
3) Butterfly cup holder
4) 97+ OEM body already installed.
5) More fuel efficient than the 1JZ
6) Bigger displacement than the 1JZ.
7) Rarity

97 for sure, good factory 97 kit beats adding it on to a early one. You never quite get all the factory conection points and clips otherwise.
Well that makes it east...MK4 TT
but if it had to be an SC, I would go with the 97 and boost it, either na-t or GTE(but only with the v160)..clean built 97+ SC with a clean GTE swap sporting a V-160, and you have a nice comfortable dual personality car..

The members voting for the 1J, please voice your opinion!.
I can see why some members would pick the 1J. It's a proven engine, it's already turbo, etc... What are your thought's?

I really dont understand the question i quess. I mean if money is no object i think everyone would get the 97' and drop in a gte???? But i think i know what u ment, I personally chose the 93 1jz because its already boosted a i love beating fast cars. I think it gets more respect than if u say that u have 97' but is 1 out of 120 built. But overview.
1. faster
2. faster
3. 93' sleeper look(what i want to be someday lol)
4. If i had a 97' i would probably baby it since its rare. So i say fun factor.
5. Oh yea i think its boosted too lol
