whats up people?? i was wondering who out there has had a 3sgte swap and still uses their car for daily driving. im still looking into getting the swap into my st auto, but im a little concerned about a turbo'd car for daily use. I know the 3sgte is a dependable engine, but just how dependable is it when swapped?
any info and opinions would be greatly appreciated! --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |

my 3sgte swapped celi is daily driven...i had a few issues that had to be worked out but nothing serious. Jay is right...every swap will have some bugs to be worked out. but once theyre all worked out its a great reliable car. just save some cash for AFTER the swap and call it ur bug removal fund. lol
