    If you're going to boost your current motor, you better make sure that you have a standalone ECU or a properly tuned ECU. If you're going to swap another motor into your car, you better make sure you have some bucks to back you up.

    Either way, you'll be spending money on more mods and maintenance (motor and tranny). ;)

    Deffiniately the swap!

    1) its a turbo motor to start with
    2) bolt in affair with OEM parts
    3) easy to use EM on car ie utec
    4) many upgrade parts for WRX motor

    I could keep going but you get the point

    Always willing to sell. I've been eyeing an Evo RS ever since I helped a friend purchase one. Just can't afford to keep both cars since I'm planning on getting a house next year.

    T-bone

    Neither :eek:)

    Get the JDM ver7 along with the 6 spd tranny:D
    Since you got the JDM seats etc, why not go JDM?
    You got mad $$ from being a manager so go all out on it;)
