as fast as this car is its not really a looking, the rims dont do it justice and the pass side fender is missing and the car was deemed the "frankenstein" because of the cracked bumper that looked as if it was about to be stitched up like the monster in the movie

Yeah, I have seen his car and it didn't look to awesome from the outside. I just want to see, in person, the engine.

I deemed him frankenstien last night because he used a weed wacker cable to sew up the front bumper.

I still give him hella props on his swap.. But I dont know about having my car the way his was.. I mean a cracked bumper, missing fender, I mean for christ's sake the car cant be more than 2 yrs old and its already pretty beat up.. Thats the only reason I am looking at Turbo rather than swap...I think the install would be alot cleaner...

Lol, well. MY shop wants 4200 to order and install the sf turbo kit, I have a few other shops to check out.. but I bet with a bit of help I could install it myself. I might just go n/a though.. I got a couple of tricks up my sleeve.. and I might be able to hit 200 that way... we'll see.. I'll get back to you on it juan.. a swap can be clean too, his fender and bumper were in that condition before the swap..

For that price I could get a swap and have a better platform. It's a damn toss up now.. I gotta think.. I dont know if I'ma be racing anyway.. so just some basics is fine, or maybe a turbo.. I dunno right now.

the swap can be done clean its all on how you do it. From the look he doesnt care how he looks as long as he wins doing it. Im going Hybrid with my car, screw the turbo, you can pay the same amount for a turbo as you can for a K20A2 and you have a better platfrom for whatever you want to do NA or FI. Just my 2cents tho

from my understanding he did alot of the work himself. He must have saved a good chunk of change if so.

i can get a group deal going if we can all decide on a time to ourchase. So far i can get 2 K20A for under 5k shipped. If its the K20A2 it should be less.
