Post by Redline »

has anyone here gotten the a-spec engine swap for either KL-03 or KL-ZE? If so how did it go and how long did it take?

I had mine in there in September. I had a KLO3 and an auto to manual swap done. It took about a month because they needed the parts for the tranny. I worked something out with them and they lent me a loaner mx3 for a bit. I would recommend them to anyone because they know their stuff. They put ZE's into 323's, its crazy.

Hey Guys:<P>my system recently crashed, and therefore, I hvae none of my old bookmarks.. can someone give me a link to A-Spec?<P>I've heard almost 100% good about them.. Shoot, if they can do an auto to manual swap then they'd get my business (If I didnt do my own work).. I did the auto-manual swap over the summer and its not the easiest thing.. but it helps to have a complete parts car right beside you, too :). I'm about to do a 1.8 swap into a 323, so I may have a few questions for them. thanks!

actually, no. its the 1.8 KL08 V6. I have 3 mx-3's (2 parts cars) and one is the donor for the engine, tranny, wire harness, etc... it'll take the better part of a week of free time, im sure... <P>george
