      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      • This is saying ITB to me the V6 would sound very good. No turbo, you have lots of power. If you want more, 100hp nitrous shot would solve that for a lot cheaper than a turbo and room is a big concern with that v6(piping, manifolds, turbo's etc). Good job on the swap have you tried braking hard to see how it handles weight transfer? My will get a bit loose in the rear under hard breaking, but I have 12 inch rotor's in the front.

        • I've only put roughly 200kms on the swap so far so i haven't really "pushed" the car too much yet to see how the handling is now etc.

          At first the steering felt very weird but i knew the alignment was out quite a bit so yesterday i just got an alignment done on it so now i'll be able to get a better feel for it :lol:

            • I went to school with two of the mechanics so they already knew about my car, although a funny story is on my way home I stopped for gas and when I fired it up the guy at the pump behind me said "those things aren't supposed to sound like that" :evil4:
