Re: Why did you swap your engine?
No one has ever asked me that question, probably because everyone already knows that MX3's are slow as fock to begin with.

Re: Why did you swap your engine?
Well... my 1.8 decided it might be fun to snap a rod while I was doing about a buck forty on the highway. So I just tell them my engine blew up so why not?
I wouldn't suggest going my route tho, unless you're a little mentally unbalanced.
