Are there any decent engine swaps i was thinking a sr20det but isnt that RWD?I want to upgrade my econo-box or get something a little quicker.

Also how much would a full suspension kit cost? Just a base level sport suspension with a small drop. My rear struts are basicly done and was thinking about instead of a stock suspension i could get something a little upgraded. Thanks

There are a number of suspension options. Search through the forum a bit. Basically you have a strut/spring combo or a coilover. It depends on how stiff you want it, pretty much.

As far as swaps, you could swap a FWD SR20DE/DET/VE in there using any one of several engines (check out the Table of Contents for more info) and some parts from an 00-01 Sentra SE, but it won't be terribly cheap. IMO it's simpler to stick to bolt ons with your 1.8 and save the money for a higher performance car down the road.

thanks you got any favorite out of a 3gen mr3 (91-94) or a 200sx? I really like RWD and the mr2 is MR that makes it unique but also a ***** to work on on a 5k budget i think thats about all i can get with decent power.
