Hey guys im newbie here just got a 93 del sol. and want to know what the best engine swap is for the car. Im going to order my kit and Z3 fenders and carbon fiber hood next week. After that im going to order some rims hopefully but september i can do the engine swap so i want to know what to save for.

wait to get your swap until you have every blinging exteriour part known to man. it's no fun being fast unless everyone around you THINKS your fast.

a majority of this community is biased toward "stock" or clean looking appearance mods. z3 fenders/flashy bodykits/neon lights/etc. aren't going to win you compliments here...just a different fan base. but like anyone can tell you, it's your car, do what you want. just don't expect alot of approving comments.
