My problem is I just want to be like heres $5000, get it done. Come back 2 weeks later and pick up my celica. Obviously things dont work like that, I dont know jack sh*t when it comes to engines, I always used 2 let my friend work on my old 300zx but now he moved away. I love my car but its 2 damn slow :-( any suggestions on how to get the 3s swap done? Im tempted to ship my car to where 1 of these other guys have had there swap done and just let them do it for me.

QUOTE(celicarus @ Jan 17, 2006 - 11:36 PM) [snapback]380200[/snapback] i'm sure we all can do it on our own as long as we have the tools including a good digital camera to take pictures of every signficant thing so we'll be able to put it back together n a bunch of ziploc bags you hit the nail on the head! all these excuses are lame! this isint like talking your car to the shop so that they can put new brake pads on. its not a "give them the keys, and take it home perfect" kind of thing. if a mechanic tells you that it will be done in a week, then that really means a month . if they say a month, then it really means a year. i didnt have any tools, no garage, or no past car experience. i have to admit, that when i got the clip, and the 3sgte coolness factor wore off, i got a little overwhelmed about how i was going to pull this off. but then i kept just working on it, and got some much needed help from other 6gc members and got it done. one of the best things about doing the swap, is how it will change you as a person. not only your car, but your skills and knowledge of how things work will be turbo charged. do your own damn swap, or you will just regret it, like coomer and other people who had to deal with the stress that only a mechanic can bring into your life. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
