    Excessive? No frickin way! I've spent around $13k on my zed just on parts (although not all swap parts) and then there's the labour. Been working on it for about 6 months spending 5-8 hours every weekend with 2-3 other people. It's not just mounts and headers man (I thought this too at the start), you run into endless problems with an engine swap...

    At 6k this is a steal and I certainly would've bought it if I hadn't started on my swap.

    Yeah, seconded. You're loosing out financially big time here now at that price Chrispy. :( Good luck buddy, hope it sells really quick for you mate.


    ....also, skidMarkNZ, do Australia a favour and piss off mate. You're nothing but a pathetic and clueless virus on this forum. :banned:[TIS]

    See if I can con Leeana into swapping engines with me :p I'm sure she'd love a V8 in her Sil :p

    Meh, I wanna play with something else. $4.5k is as low as I want to go, so I thought I'd just put it at that.

    I'll also entertain the idea of me putting it in a NA manual that the buyer provides for money + whatever I pull out of the zed. I'm going to be very busy soon with other stuff, so this offer won't be around for long.

    Nah, it won't be too bad, the loom I'm not looking forward too though :eek: Should get it done in a weekend or two if I hunker down.

    Anyway it only takes 10 hours to do the whole conversion, should be able to pull it out in less time than that :p
