SR Swap help
My KA just blew and so Im going to put an SR in it. What shop to you guys recommend I go to for the install? I have about 5k to spend (for parts + labor), so probably just going to get a basic swap. If I can get more then that, then even better! I was thinking of going to Z Fever, but Ive read a lot of mixed reviews on them. It would a HUGE help if you guys can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Thanks!

How come you're not willing to do it yourself? Swapping an SR into an s-chassis is almost a complete bolt in job.

My friend and I have done a few swaps at his house, but he doesnt have any of his tools anymore and I dont have any. We could rent tools, but would only be able to do it on the weekends. He also has to take care of his kids on the weekend. So I wanted to just have a shop do it so I can get my car back ASAP. Plus my friend isnt that reliable and I think it would take a long time before it actually got finished. Im one of his best friends and it still takes him days to text me back.
Because race car…

Based on your situation I think youre leaning in the right direction. You could do a lot worse than Z-Fever.
There is something to be said for doing the swap yourself and knowing whats been done. There i also something to be said for knowing what your limitations are, and for you its time and tools. With that sort of cash you should be able to get what you want and have piece of mind knowing if there is an issue, the shop that did it will/should help you out.

That is an option. My car is in pretty good shape. One of the cleanest Ive seen that hasnt had work done to it. Interior is pretty much perfect. Exterior has some small paint chips/dings. Everything works perfectly in the car except the motor.

Lol Im willing to buy someones SR, Im looking for one now. I would rather not wait to get one shipped from Japan. My friend MIGHT be doing it, in which case I could put some more money toward the car.
