Default Was it Worth it ???

Was it worth it doing your $3000 - $4000 swap and keeping the old car or Would it have been better to get a newer car ???

I can't decide if to keep the sol and the do engine/manual swap or just invest the money into a newer car ? What would be better?

Thanks

**move if necesary

it depends on if the car is paid off or not.

my car isnt paid off yet so I'm not doing a swap unitl it's either paid off or my motor spontaneously combusts.

The experience of the doing a swap is priceless. Besides money, considerable time and effort must also be invest but the feeling of success is priceless.

It all depends really on what you want. If you really like your car and want to feel what a fast honda is then swap it. If you want to stay in warrenty (if you have it) go turbo, and if you break something, take the turbo off and say you dont know what happened

I had alot of fun with my B18C-T DX EJ2 before it stopped running, ******* dizzy.
