The level of satisfaction with 4a-ge's, and other used performance engines, vary depending on the condition of the block. Sure it's fast and fun - if it is working perfectly.

My sister has a widebody corolla with a silvertop. It's hard to drive (definitely not for a beginner), vulnerable to water (just recently they drove over a puddle at a relatively high speed - ngayon "pumupugak pugak" nanaman, rough pa ang idle, at namamatayan lagi), requires fully synthetic oil, and needs to be checked and tuned on a regular basis.

otherwise ang ganda nung tunog pag nasa 7,000 rpm na.

Also, to take full advantage of the engine, other components need to be replaced as well - the axle, headers, exhaust pipe, intake filter, etc etc.

besides, in the middle of a jam, even the fastest car only moves at a snail's pace.
bro san ba mganda mag pa check/upgrade ng suspensions, brakes, etc from taytay ako, my ma recomend ba kayo? yung hindi ako lolokohin
