:lol:
You should have seen my "April Fools" topic a few years ago.... Made some people upset (even moderators), because I knew they wouldn't read it thoroughly.
I've been in several accidents that could have easily killed me, and got no help from insurance, so F them. I got a letter in the hospital about how they were going to sue me for their client being in a dead stop in a van in the fast lane on the freeway at sunset, just on the backside of the crest of a small hill, and I hit her. She was rubbernecking a guy who fell off his bike in the median going the other way. He was fine. I hit her going about 65, was ejcted, there was fire... Sorry, I got started. Moral of the story: F them. I'm not recommending anything... Just saying I hate them.

They way I see it:
If you actually got what you paid for when it comes to insurance, how would they make money?
They're shisters by nature. Lots of industries are like that.

Hey outlaw hows the swap going? you get that car yet?

I have a good condition MX-6 with a KLDE motor. It runs very nice and is powerful, there's no reason not to put one into an MX3. I think rebuilding one and then putting a turbo on or maybe just headers would be very nice.

Btw, in regards to the ZE. You can always swap the DE retainer things in so the ZE won't drop a valve etc. Then it'd be just as good as a DE in terms of reliability. Honestly though, both these engines don't have much power after 6500 so there's no real need to rev past 7000.

Good luck with your swap either way.
