Anyways, I'm purposely not looking into what it takes to do a swap just yet because I know I'll probably just start buying little parts here and there if I do. I'm just gunna enjoy the slow car for a while and beef up the suspension a little. Thanks again for the kind welcome (again) guys! I'm sure I'll be meeting some of ya this summer!well if and when u want to do the swap, you can Pm FG2 or go into tintmasters. they have done a couple of the swaps into the same car.

I'm not about ready to throw $5000ish for parts and then another $2000-3000 for install. I haven't asked em what they'd charge since I'm not going to do it for a while, but I'm sure having any shop do a motor swap is going to be hella expensive. Hopefully by the time I decide to do the swap I'll make some good suby friends on here that can lend a hand. I'm all about DIY and learnin stuff.

I take it you're a mitsu fan then? I love the dsms for the cheap parts and the fact that they are super easy to work on, but when I had my eclipse it just didn't seem very solid. I'd convert back to the mitsu side in a second if I could afford an Evo though

I haven't looked into what all goes into swapping an sti motor, so I guess I can't say if I'll pay to have it done or not, but I can say that I'm a pretty determined guy and I've read a lotta threads about people doing the swap themselves successfully.
