So I got a new job a couple weeks ago. Got my first check yesterday and I am going to be able to save up for it quick so i'm wondering would a 3sgte swap still be decent on gas? I'll be driving an average of 35 miles a day but want something more fun to drive.

I'll be driving an average of 35 miles a day but want something more fun to drive. to be practical, i would suggest that the first thing you do is buy a cheap beater that is reliable. a swapped car is sensitive to routine maintenance, and is likely to have downtime on occasion. can you drive it back and forth? yeah! do you really want to put so many miles on it? meh. it will be "okay" on gas as long as you stay out of boost, but hearing you say you want something more fun, i doubt you can resist! (most of us cant lol)  i learned that having a nice DD thats inexensive and reliable is the best way to go cheers! --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM) You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |
