[Valo666]

So, ive been thinkin about doing a swap for awhile now...but at the same time..im on a bit of budget. Any ways...ive found a place that has a bunch of 1st gen 3sgtes in stock with like 50xxxKM on them..for like $500 or so..no harness, or ecu..but i can get both easily from a buddy of mine. Any ways, are 1st gen 3s' reliable??...i know any thing can be reliable...but i mean under like..say...13psi daily driven...would the car be ok?? my motor in the car now has been acting up a bit..and im thinking of doing this swap soon. as for I/C piping..bov etc..i have every thing at my work for cheap. Any ways...yes?? or no??
