Grey wrapped silver pill. Bitter like hell but what a kick.

Yes...he cant swap the key component whch is the chassis..

Another key factor of euro feel is the weight of the vehicle.I wonder how much the weight difference after the engine swap.

Yeah.. with the 1JZ it's front heavy. Will do corner weighting once the suspension settles in

I thought going hulk green?.....hhahahhahhaha

yeah..

Actually, I found 3 virgin Evo 9s that had stock everything but they were all 130k and more.

...

Way over priced, should be in the region of 110-120k tops. Even 2-3 yrs ago I saw one already down to rm125k, full stock in excellent condition, year 2006, and in a used car dealer some more so can go even lower, sold in just 1-2 weeks. Then I've seen another 2006 MR about 1.5-2 yrs ago asking only rm115, not completely stock (but still using stock turbo), pretty good condition and sold in just 2-3 weeks I believe. Lately there was 1 in FB forums relatively stock asking 115k nego, but maybe now sold already.

Alternatively you can opt for 8MR as well, almost as good as the 9, some even claim the handling is better as it's not as sharp/more forgiving especially in the wet. Just lacking a bit low end punch compared to the 9 with MIVEC but that can be modded/tuned later match. The 8MR now is asking about 90+k for relatively stock cars.

It's no longer an option. I'm sticking with the E36

Yeah thanks. That guy is pretty impressive but I heard a rumour about these sort of converts these days are hard to get approval or are one time only converts with their reg cards being non transferrable and all that shit.
