    Let me know if you ever want to get rid of it. For the right price I'll take it out of your drive way.
    I am not sick, I am twisted. Sick makes it sound like there is a cure.

        I'll keep you in mind.

        I always say I'm never going to sell it, but that could change.

            Finally pulled the trigger on my vert... Doing my first swap, ever. S52 time! Super stoked.

                I'm losing it, Simon... I would put it in my 2dr, but I really want to build a 3.1l itb m20 for that one.

                The plan now is to do the swap, along with an Mtech 1 conversion.

                This car is my inspiration

                  We're all a little screwy, right? I have no problem with the S52 in the Vert. Make it auto for the fuck of it. Mtech 1 is harder on the Verts though because the sideskirts are non existent.

                    Maybe I'm being retarded. It's going to take forever to piece together an mtech 1 kit, if I can even get the skirts. I don't know why I'm so attached to my damn m20 in my hardtop, either. I need to stop being a pansy and put my s52 in my hardtop. If I went the build m20 route, I'm going to spend a lot of time and money, to get it right. The main reason I wanted to put it into the vert was for practice and figured I could make it look cool too. I eventually want to advertise my shop for swaps and want to do a few on my own first, before I'm responsible for someone else's.

                        Why not just S52 the hardtop and turbo the M20 in the vert? Youll still be pushing good numbers on both. Dont complicate it more than it already is bro

                          Damn, you run a hard bargain haha. I would do unspeakable things for that chili!!! Lmfao

                          You guys are right. I would have more fun with the hardtop with the s52. S52ing the vert was a highdea. Now it's going to sit for another year haha.

                                Market for them is small but that car is clean and has a swapped motor and that divides the buyers market. Probably another $5-10k max I thinj
