MK2 vs. MK3

[Tanya]

wait what? You drove an mk3 and stayed out of boost. Well of course you're not gonna like that experience, it's like driving a slow N/A!

I do believe I actually like driving MY slow n/a ...

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I always knew you were sick in the head. -_-

 

[GrimJack]

That's not entirely true - I currently own a Mk3, but if I find a nice Mk2, it's SOLD.

 

[DonS1mpson]

Step 1: Buy a MK3
Step 2: Buy a MK2
Step 3: ???
Step 4 : Profit

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

That's not entirely true - I currently own a Mk3, but if I find a nice Mk2, it's SOLD.

So that means i get your rims right?

 

[Tanya]

Step 1: Buy a MK3
Step 2: Buy a MK2
Step 3: ???
Step 4 : Profit

Step 3 is buy a junk turbo mk3 and swap it's guts into the mk2.

Then profit.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ Yeah, turbo a mkII w/ just enough time to sell it. :nono:

Thats a recipe for a 'omg I hate Supras they are so ftl' FS thread. :icon_bigg

I don't see how putting all the money into buying both cars and getting it swapped in would leave much room for a profit. But w/e, maybe I'm just a cheap ass.

 

[Tanya]

profit isn't all about money you newblet.

 

[GrimJack]

So that means i get your rims right?

You wish. Earlier, when I said that the 5 bolt conversion for the Mk2 was a pain, I didn't mean that I'd shy away from DOING it.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

profit isn't all about money you newblet.

^ Uhhh.... yeah it is? Losing money = No profit and if said swap wasn't completed he wouldn't be richer from experience either.

 

[faithless88]

Okay from what I have seen mk2 will be more reliable if in good shape. mk3 has more potential but with that more things to go wrong with. But either would be a step up from an 88 corolla. But ultimately it is up to me.

 

[Tanya]

Matt you could profit just by being happy is what I am saying. Sheesh, stop being so damn shallow

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ umm... if someone who doesnt know exactly what they're doing attempts a swap they will not be happy, in any sense of the word.

Happy is good, mo' money is better. :icon_bigg

If anyone is going mkII, go 82, we got the cool door handles. IDC What Tanya says, they are ftw.

 

[Tanya]

You have a tendancy to overcomplicate everything dontcha Matt? Holy hell.

82/83 door handles are FTG.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ No. It's the truth. Someone who doesn't know what they are doing will start a thread that says 'omg supras are so ftl I'm gonna drop a roadflare in my gas tank'

Then they'd sell the mkII for scrap and I'd lose 2 more bitchin door handles. :3d_frown:

 

[GrimJack]

82/83 door handles are concentrated ASS.

84 is the perfect car. Best doorhandles, best hatch.

85. The 84 interior (excluding leather) freaks me out with all those stripes.:aigo:

Oh, but you don't get the heated side mirrors, knock sensor or illuminated keyholes :sarcasm:

Upgrade.... one more thing to go wrong.... I can find a hole in the dark now.

 

[Tanya]

I can find a hole in the dark now.

I'm sure your wife appreciates that.
