Word. I just got a TM full of pictures of a built hybrid motor I was looking at.

But I really want to get a long block as I fear if my heads are not toast they would soon be. I'd like to go built but we'll see what happens.

If I find an STI or a complete swap I'll hook you up with the turbo and the pinks for cheap as I won't need the turbo or the injectors... I'll need something much larger for injectors.

Thanks. I did. I've reached out to a couple of folks. I'd really like to find a wrecked car if I can.

You may not be able to tell but there are a few things that could be screwing up your toe.




I dropped a line to that link you sent me. He's got one with 23,000 miles on it. Complete for $4500 shipped. That included the ECU and the harnesses. Not bad. I wish it was closer to $3500 but they're a business so I expect it to be more. They don't do leak down for some reason but they do offer 30 day warrantee so I could test it myself and if it's crap just give it back to them.

I told them I had my eye on one for $3000. I actually have my eye on one that's nearly complete... no turbo or injectors... which I don't need and one that's 100% complete. Both for $3000. One is local and one is not. If the local one gets back to me I'm gonna jump on it.

Sweet. Yeah im sure he would negotiate on the price. You could prob pick it up yourself I think hes located in bakersfield if the other swaps dont work out.

Yeah I'm waiting on him to give me an adjusted price if I pick it up myself. I figure it'll cost me about $100 in gas so it's probably way cheaper than shipping.

Hopefully he'll come down a little bit. If so I may pull the trigger. I'd really like to do a full built motor but I just can't swing $7000. I'm trying to lock all this down for under $5000.

I'm more than likely getting an 04/05 STI AP for next to nothing. Then the XT if I can figure out how to get it tomorrow. I've got the intake. I've got the manifold.

I'll need to pick up a clutch, trans/diff fluid, a few odds and ends. Injectors. Etc.

If I can get most of it for around $5000 it'll be worth it. Otherwise I might as well just do a 2.1 liter built motor with reworked heads.

That's why I want to buy an entire car. Going that route I can offset some of the expense with the parts I don't need.

Selling my 2.0 isn't gonna get me much of anything. If I get the VF39 and the injectors I can get like $500 out of that. And maybe $500 out of my entire swap but more than likely it'll be more like $250.

I'll figure it out. Damned car.



Anyone going through hayward tomorrow?
