> _Originally posted by Quik_ > **good for you. you got something you want to spend money on. but honestly what are you trying to achieve with a motor swap. if you wanted a quad 4 you should of just bought one. and i deffenetly understand the no money thing.** I’m not swaping in the quad 4. I’m going to swap in a 2.2 eco with a turbo. Its a lot stronger motor, and is going to have / does have a lot more aftermaket support than the quad 4. With built up internals and fuel managment upgrades you can easily push 15 psi in to the 2.2 eco and thats being conservitive. Weather you want to believe shit or look it up there are fast cars out there with this platform and I’m not talking about corperate backed cars either. If you care to find them and set aside your distaste for them you can find them. **before you come back with yadda yadda transmission strenth, blah blah iginition shit, Yes I know there is more to it than throwing the shit in and riding down the road. This is going to be a learning experience for me by far** On a side note money was a big issue, I was in the process of saving for a nice down payment on a new car that spring when I hit a deer with my old car in december of 2000. needless to say I wan’t going to buy another beater and worked with what I could down payment wise and NOT needing a co-signer. My only requirements were I wanted no stereo, since I was going to replace it anyways and it had to be a 5-speed. So this is what i was able to afford brand new with 6 miles with the money I had AT the time. Only reason I have a ton of money to drop into “stupid things” now is because I have a decent job unlike when I went to get this car. :dunno: ---

for the price of a GTP you received A LOT of performance, and A LOT of luxury. its a great comprimise for what it is. No other car in its category can really outdo it.
