What I do know is that anyone who would rather take an older car with 'modifications' done to it over a new car with a warranty and MORE power needs to get there head checked. 
Coming from someone who has modified cars for the last 10 years with turbos, direct port n2o systems, SC's, engine rebuilds and basically everything you can do PLUS I race all my cars I would still rather have a NEW car over an older modified one. they are less likely to brake, have better engineering behind them, come with a factory warranty and most importantly are VERY RELIABLE. Show me a modified car that falls in that catagory. You can't because once you modify a car, to the point Adam's car is, you lose the reliability factor amoung other things. |
I don't see the point in this statement. He has a car that he likes and he swapped an sti drivetrain into it. What makes that any more or less reliable then buying a brand new sti and modding it? He likes his bug eye. Warranty's are for pansies that don't know how to mod their car and break stuff. You sound like someone who buys a car, mods the hell out of it, brake **** then returns it to stock and gets it fixed. You should learn to accept the responsibility that what you did caused it to break. The only time I took my car to get fixed under warranty was when it was something that had nothing to do with mods I had. Now go buy a brand new car and mod it.
Anyway, block looks awesome. Good luck with the rebuild!
