wtf is up with m42swaps?

[Emre]

A lot of M42's got swapped when the timing case profile gasket let go, the engine overheated, and the head warped.

those that say m42 boring are noobs. try reving them 4-6k=different car. Id rather have m42 than m20 anyday. Whats up with having to swap timing belts every 4yrs or 60k miles=GAY

M42s are slow but somewhat bulletproof imo. I personally like them but hey, im a slow driver. haha. But seriously, being 4cyl, it's perky enough...

bc m42's are slow

This^ it is one boring engine.

[ButtJuice]

M42s are pretty cool, but I see why people swap them because of lack of power. I'm even getting bored of the m20b25..

But again I would never molest a 318is.

318s were the lightest chassis and came sunroofless. Get light car and put big engine, go fast.

bc m42's are slow

[JinormusJ]

The only m42 that should be spared are late model verts and 318iSes
Then again, I believe all m20's deserve to be swapped unless 2.7i or stroked. I guess you can say I have a soft spot for m42s

[Balleristic31]

Yes. I like this guy

[///M42 sport]

I dont get why so popular for guys to swap out their m42's. 325's are way more common than 318's...Ruining the 318 species.
