Jesus, I thought I missed something. I thought HASport brought a B-series swapped 7th gen to the show. I was all stoked cuz I had to monkey my swap in. I couldn't wait to see the HASport car with a real swap in it.

Then I saw the car. You posted pics of MY car.

Am I the only person in the world with a 7G B-Series Swap?

I think you answered your own question. That and the fact that it costs half as much.

Isnt the law preventing swapping an older motor into your car federal and not state? So it's illegal everywhere.

It is federal law. But if you live in a state with no inspections, you may be able to get away with it for a lot longer than someone in California or Texas that does have inspections.

Just do your best to refuse the cop looking under your hood, if he knows what he's looking at, you're looking at big problems. All roads built in the US are built with at least part federal money, which gives NTSB all the authority they need.

But if the cop doesn't know what he's looking at, and you have no inspections... you can probably get away with it for a long time.

haha I knew I remembered that car from somewhere. Just looking at the paint (M3 LSB, correct?) and how everything is set up to be so aerodynamic. You want to hit 200mph on the salt flats, don't you?

Did you talk to an old guy with grey hair, glasses, mustache and goatee?
The swap is very difficult to do nicely and impossible to do cheaply, so we decided not to make a kit. I haven't told the guys at AEM that we have decided not to do the swap kit.
