Seriously considering it, but concerned about the turbo motor (I'm not super handy with the tools).
How reliable is that 3S-GTE?
Probably one of the most reliable engines I have come to know. I would not hesitate to drive mine to Mexico and back. Like with all things, it's all in how they were maintained. Mine is deadnuts reliable. But it's hit or miss these days as this is a 25 year old sports car. I have no doubts mine will go for another 25 years. The 2gr is nice and all but I prefer the 3sgte. Especially gen3 94+ jdm spec as they are tons more improved over 90-93 gen2 variants.
