hmmmm do you think an engine swap on your car would be worth it? i seriously cosidered dropping a 1.8T or VR6 into my old jetta because it was in really really good condition, but with the costs of install and wiring were horrid and just the price of the engine was 10,000 ( Concept 1 ) ,anyways i say get a new car before doing an engine swap, unless your cars totally pimp:bigpimp:

any comments ? Forget the hidden costs, the up front costs are enough. 20B rotaries are not exactly easy to come by.
