You need to have the correct tools and KNOWLEDGE not just heresay from us. You really need to know what you're doing before attempting one of these swaps. and yea, like everyone else said, you need to be MORE SPECIFIC about your goals and your budget! _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to jprommel) Post #: 5
