I agree, it's like, the other day I drove by an apartment complex and I don't get why people live in those things instead of just buying a mansion like I did. I guess they just don't appreciate quality like I do.

Any updates? I have always wondered if a swap like this would turn out good using N/A or if you would have to turbo it? Sounds like you have experience in both.
How does the suspension kit testing go? I am interested in getting a kit for my 02 so any input would be great. What was the install like, lots of cursing or bolt right in like doing coil lovers? PM me the details
