is that your friends purchase and install rates. It looks like its just purchase. Aspec is $3000 CAN for the actual install.

I'm doing mine in July, V6 to V6...<BR>I just don't wan't to get screwed with lets say they put in Kl-03 instead of a kl-Ze. I want to put in a few more things as well... like racing pulley, LSD tranny.<BR>Havent got a quote yet... do the mx-6 engine mounts come with the engine ? they aslo listed they you get a front strut bar and front mx-6 brakes... im not sure if that applies whit the v6 to v6 but i know you get all this stuff if you go from the i4 to 2.5.<P>soory for the long message

Hi Guys<P>Well I've done all my mods at A-spec. <BR>They've performed lots of I4 to v6 swaps, as well as straight ZE V6 swaps.<P>Price wise your getting a good deal and someone that has done plenty of these swaps.<P>They even do Auto to 5spd swap's in no time.<P>I don't work there...just helping you guys decide.<P>My name is Frank and they do know me well. Tell them I refered you guys and they'll treat you good. I've already told them that the first person I refer to them that give's me bad feed back(with reason) that I would no longer refer anyone, but still just continue to go for work on my car only.<P>Here's my webpage with mods I've performed.<BR> <A HREF="http://www3.sympatico.ca/progtr/MyProbe.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www3.sympatico.ca/progtr/MyProbe.html</A> <P>Hoping for 200whp by spring :eek:

Had a 2.5 and auto to manual swap done there.<BR>They seem to know what they are doing and are always willing to find the bugs in the car. Didnt get a ZE engine because of cost and availability. Id rather have a stick klo3 than an auto ZE right?. <BR>They also always have little stuff around like interior pieces and other hard to find goodies. Ive even got a window there!<BR>So i think A spec is reputable. This summer im planning to upgrade my exhaust and brakes there, possibly suspension, and a 200 shot of NOS. <P>Just kidding about the last one, have fun!!<P>Happy MX3ing

Hey kwk, There is no difference in an engine from a 5 spd and one from an auto.
