huh, so the early 1uz's are better for boost applications? i know later uz's in the US from 98 on had dual VVTi and were rated at 290hp, 40hp higher than the early ones.

the s2k was a 05 and was financed. i was paying 280 a month plus 200 insurance. not a lot, but i got a lot of bills and they add up. austerity is the new black, lol. SC was a 92 with 130k miles so it was cheap enough that i could pay cash. looking forward to not having to make payments.
