that's pretty accurate

aznpoopys engine swap:
-sprayed myself in the face with throttle body cleaner
-bent powersteering lines because we didnt get to actually dropping in the engine until 9pm when it was dark
-everyone was yelling at everyone else around the 8 hour mark

I usually do shit myself.In my driveway.Where everybody can see.NAKED.

I pulled out my KA24E and everything associated with it,installed and wired KA24DE harness dropped in in new DOHC motor with a broken motor mount which turned out to be a oil burning POS anyways.month later I pulled POS motor,pulled another KA24DE out of parts car,swapped intaked manifolds then dropped it in with a fresh set of URAS motor mounts.While all this was happening I was piecing my own turbo kit...fast forward to to last month I'm laying down 14's all night at the drag strip...Total-about 3k thats including the cost of the damn car itself.With 2 extra KA24DEs and ashitload of parts that I dont even know what to do with.Thats what most pay for just an SR swap alone...

I woulda had to pay out the butt in labor...

if anybody cares
