work from the ground up(suspension, brakes so forth) then worry about the engine.

just curious.... why was it only 350 bucks?

the dude was really desprate for money. and it has a minor dent in the driver 1/4 panel from tapin the wall while drifting. but i have a friend thats going to fix that and it has a tick in the engine. it sounds like its coming from the front of the engine. do you have any idea what that might be? but i kinda figured for $350 its not in bad shape.

jesus christ

read up on both of the engines and pick what you like better, everyone and there mother asks this question and all it boils down too is a matter of preferance..there is no definite answer to which is better, if someone claims so then its because they are biased and thats what they like better.
