I will do it for you for the low price of $500k. You can keep the other half of your budget for hookers and booze.

I'm sure for double my price you may be able to make it actually run. He didn't specify so 500k seems fair.

I just like the word "booze." It makes me giggle like a young, cheap hooker.

I have found that the Horsemen are usually good for it. War does have a tendency to get busy and pay a little late, though.

Guys, he's lying. You can only paypal up to $10,000 payments. He'll actually do a transfer from his overseas bank account. Just thought you should know!

HI guys am new here need some advice from u thnx.
am thinking of buying a rx8 but as we know the rotary engines are't that reliable and they are really bad at fuel consumption so am thinking to buy an rx8 with a bad motor and swap it with a 4 cylinder engine coz v6 and v8 will destroy the weight ratio of it and i want it to be cheap reliable and fuel efficient so guys need ur advice on this which engine will be best. thnx
am thinking of these engines
mr2 spyders engine
nissan sr20
miata's
or any other 4 cylinder

THNXXXXXXX

No swap has ever been cheap.

Also great job finding this thread as it is a joke about the whole idea.

Good luck.

Engine Swap

There are plenty of threads about this. Do your own research, make your own decision and report back once the swap is complete.
If done right, you will get praise from the forum. But you must understand that this is a sensitive and highly discussed topic (edit) and many who attempt this often disappear without finishing

Good luck

EDIT 2: read through the new owners forums and engine swaps.
