no thanks to the culprits who destroy their "YR2002 internatioanl engine of the year ~1.4L to 1.8L category" by not tendering proper knowledge & mods. :confused_smile: ; it is scarce now, the engine locally.
you will be addicted. once an motor enthusiast mod bug hits, you find it isnt enuff. a 2ZZ MRS 200HP, 975kg weight car with right suspension is as fast as 600HP R34 in touge. (that is if you got the balls to run at that speed). 2ZZ spyders in malaysia?? no such thing:_: really:_: . there are tons of swapped 2ZZ spyders info on SC
for a moderate driver a 140HP++ MRS on wheels can be in the tails of a leader of a certain FF 200HP hot hatch; you will of course lose out on dragging big time. but drag races isnt MRS cup of tea. you will have more fun on twisties.
BUT
enjoy it as is. then you will appreciate the adding of mods. as i mentioned before; my opinion is to ride & enhance the handling of the car. its more fun. once your "driving confidence"* has gone a few notches up, the by all means explore the concept 2ZZ.
* the spyder is easy to drive, nimble & road worthy for daily usage. bar elise (which holds the torch for great handling prowness but may be a little unforgiving for daily commuting).
