This is my introduction thread

Welcome again......i guess
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

A swap....Yup, I mentioned that earlier in the thread. I just don't wanna do the swap till I'm outa school and have a more steady income. If I swap it, I'm gunna have to go sti over wrx just because if I'm gunna drop that much money I might as well spend the little extra and get the more powerful motor.

I even read that part, good point tho on not messing with the motor too much, it'll just end up being a waste and you won't get your investment back.
STi block is also better because it is semi-closed I believe(if you are talking about the EJ257), the power thing is a less of a concern as most of it is made with boost/turbo anyway...

I like that car, and the dsm as well. Welcome aboard, again

Yup, I mean you can make na motors quick, but what's the point when you can spend a little money and go turbo and make way more power and have much more potential. I really like the idea of swapping a stock motor into the car and gaining power. That way I keep some of the reliability as well
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!

I think an n/a 2.5 with just ridiculous suspension would be a hell of a lotof fun

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.

welcome...again.
i am a suby hater. but i like the RS's. enjoy the car.

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
