well its a nice speedy (top end is great) and they do have a little difficult hooking up but its really a nice car, just put a fwe small things on and you'll start getting into it... at first everything seems so small away but once you start modding you dont wanna stop, and its al just such an exciting feeling knowing the car is getting better and better and nicer and cooler, so yeah its worth it to me to fix it up, it all depends on who you are though i guess....

umm...the 3G is a horrible top end car. its geared for low end torque.

westtexas....what do you want out of the car? power? handling? how much are you looking to spend?

ok 3Gs have horrible TQ and top end, they are made for low end and even there its no fun IMO. with alot of poer youll have fun with bad tration fighting it all the time. and the 3G is one of the worst handleing cars I have ever driven, even with suspension which I had on my gs. dont get me wrong it makes a huge difference but they are horible handleing cars.

Now as far as making it fast, I would it is easy and fun. you can get into the high 12s rather easily with the tearstone turbo kit. but without a FI the car will be really slow. I look back and get embarresed to think that I drove my GS like it was fast when it was slow. t would be worth it in the sense that when you are done youll be proud of what you did to it. I say if you get the car cheap to go for it. with some attention they can be pretty good performing cars.

that is about the limit of it. but get motor mounts too and maybe lower it
