A 3S swap definitely won't be cheap. The easiest adn cheapest swap would be an 18R-G, but a 1G-GTE would also be relatively easy and has a lot more power. It really depends what you want and how much you're willing to spend...

I hope you at least have third party property! IMO this should be compulsory for all drivers, just like CTP...

yeah i'll email you when i find some spare time. I'm really packed up with work at the moment. How much do you want for that 18RC? Does anyone want a perfect condition Cordia turbo gearbox? i've got it in bits so you can come inspect it if you want. I'll sell it cheap. Thanks tim, i'll get back to you soon.

Ok, Now that I have risen to the ranks of 1GGTE, I have no need for those pesky 18rc's, it is pretty noisy, top end noise I think, rattled a bit, it's no use cracking it open for valves 'cause then I'd have a useles lump in my garage forever so I'll ask $200 for it and everything that hangs of the side of it and makes it run. I also have a spare coil, spare alt, manifold's and some other shit I think. I was going to make a go-cart with it but couldn't really be bothered. I have a flywheel and pressure plate and a farly new clutch as well. the gearbox is a W57 and is mine but you can have the bellhousing (that goes from r series motor to w55-56-57-58 gearbox)
if it is too much then make an offer. I am in Bathurst, Australia. I dunno if it'd be too good for an engine but I guess the parts are fine.
