[qban537]

thats the first time i saw that car...the car looks really sweet both urs and who evers that is! i really didnt get a good look at the rims....

[Punch]

mina is your car at jamasco???

[Tweek]

9k? wow, thats expensive. Still cheaper than a new car though. How much of that was the rims and tires? There's kind of a wide range of price for that. I'm assuming 1k. It looks good. Is it a manual? I have a auto right now, and if I'm going to swap to that, I think I'd want them to put a manual in with it. Yours included a new tranny right? Also, I like that they fit all the stuff right under the radio spot.

XXX_Mina's cost aint that bad seeing as how he has a full stand alone ecu, 3rd gen 3sgte, mr2 tranny, and other toys. 2k for laybor is about standard from any mechanic for an engine swap.

[qban537]

so u dont need the stand alone ecu after the swap? old one can be used?
