Well time to start one of these finally just incase i enter and or win the picture of the month poll. Ive had this car for about 6 years now and done a fair bit of additions to it, mostly suspension thus far. It has been holding up to the import car reliability status for the most part...except for a rod bearing or wrist pin on the crank that decided to weaken severely and that meant a swap was in order. I was able to find a 2002 EJ25 for a decent price and the entire swap cost around 2000 (canadian) including the engine. I was still contemplating a WRX swap but just didnt have the extra cash as that was the same year i did my rear sway, coilovers, brakes and clutch...
