if you're on a tight budget, go with the engine swap and maintain your current car.

Mag 3E ka na lang para pareho ang mount.

4age will fit perfectly without modification.

sell your car and go find a Civic with a modified engine. you can find alot of 96-97 Civics in the range of 260-300k with B16 engines. i recommend the Civic cause i like its suspension better plus it has standard power features and amenities not present with your Rolla XL.

sa transplanted civic ka na.at least tried and tested na yung swap nung may-ari.you'll be spared of the hassle ng pagtono after ng engine swap.

If you're on a budget, go for the 4AGE swap... just take the time to gather the engine and needed parts.

If you're adventurous and want to produce a high-powered 1.6 that's not a Honda, go for the 4A-GE swap. Get a Gen2 20-valve silvertop, or if budget permits, a blacktop.

mas ok kung you stick with your car. kasi alam mo kung anu-ano ang pinaggagawa dun kesa sa bumili ka ng kotse na di ka sigurado ang history

Parang hirap mag decide pag ganyan ah.
Kung tight ang budget mo mag engine swap ka na lang ng 4AGE na black top or silvertop.Tsaka kung overall ok pa naman ang XL mo.Then don't sell it.Mas mura parts ng toyota compared to honda.
