dude...slow down. There is no point in swapping another motor in this car. For the price of swapping something like an s4 or rs4(don't even know where you could get an rs4), you could have bought the actual s4. It is not worth your time or money. Is your motor blown? If not, it has plenty of potential.

lots of hp, lots of $ (although he saved a ton with DIY stuff others would not do), and im sure that mods as crazy as his could make the car unreliable at times if not tuned correctly.

EDIT: and really, if you have to ask...mods such as those tom has are not the best idea for you to head into. start small and learn to work your way up to the big stuff.

Is that the actual ring, I like it man! I think she will to. I don't see why everyone has to go platnum and all this other crazy exotic crap, I like the traditional rings like that one. When you gonna do it.

Its got 90,100 miles on it and iam not sure if i want to continue to upgrade it the fram and car are in great shape but the car is a 97 so its older iam not sure if it is worth putting money into it anymore becouse of wear i would like a new suspention and some mods like that. Iam not sure if it is worth putting anymore money on the car not engine or do u think it will last for a long time. I would really like to keep this car because it was my first car. thanks
