I thought about putting one in my Starlet but opted to stick with the 4AGE just because I have three sitting on the floor of my garage.

If i had to take a wild guess, i’d say there are between 15-20 st165’s (1988-1989) on the east coast left. The production was random, but were counted. I have #2597 which is fairly early.

There were 2 AllTracs at the Beaver earlier this year. They were father and son cars and they mentioned that they owned another one as a parts car.

ya, those are st185’s. 90-93. They arn’t quite as rare, but still cool. I know Austin breifly when he tryed to buy my alltrac and i had to turn him down. The white one is a guru i rarely talk to, but knows his beans.

IMO, its all about the st165. Anyone can go find an st185 and be done.

I still have the stock rods and pistions in my motor. ARP studded everything I could (mains, rods, head, flywheel). Probably will do a good HG and thats it. I just want to get it running again.

I’ve heard of BIG numbers on stock guts. Very comparible to sr20’s. The rods are massive.

o ya, i ported out all the TVIS too:

Yeah stock internals will last a while. I know people have run large amount of boost. If you do the regular maintenance and monitor things well then you could push more.

not worth it in my opinion unless you really love your prizm. A lot of time and agravation involved in the swap.

To be a little less vauge, I’ve started saving up for a '91ish MR2 turbo. I believe you can register a '91 as a classic now that the MR-S is out of production (and ven if i can’t), it’ll be a million times cooler/faster than the neon and cheaper to keep on the road.

I still have a soft spot for the looks of the ST185s though.

Even with an AE101 halfcut?

I’d rather have the st185? Then again I might buy this beater corolla sr5 and drop in a 4agze or 4age bluetop.
