I live in London Ontario.
I was wondering what would be the best place, or the best guy to do a SWAP for my engine, and ecu, and all the goodies??
I seen PRECIDIAN the other day but I totally forgot to ask him!!

y dont you just do it yourself? It'd be a lot more fun, and gratifying when it is done.

I would have somebody to have it done for you but you would have to drive allll the way here

I'm doing mine myself also. I'm lucky enough to have TWO Mx-3's, so I take my time on my GS while I earn the cash with my RS. Do it yourself if you can; you just get that "connection" with your car that you can't get when someone else is workin it.

I totally appreciate the replies, but with mechanical knowledge that I have I don't think that would be a good idea (to do it myself), plus the tools.
thank you!

hey, what exactly do u need for tools? i wanted to do the engine swap. i have a garage at my disposile. and the car wont need to be doing it. if i fallow the user manual it isn't to hard right? (simple fallowing instuctions).
other then a garage and engine hoist (i have both). what tools will i need to get the job done?
*note* i have worked on cars a bit before... but never something as big as an engine swap....

socket wrenches, plyers, vice grips screw drivers etc. all the typical tools. Nothing special really. Just LOTS of liquid qrench.
