well im sorry , if i think a certain motor is better blah blah, idealsupra> just one question have u ever drove a 1g? if not dont talk shit ...i understand were all of u r coming from..and yes i know if something would to break it will be hard to get parts.few things that i like so far bout the 1g over a 7m> GAS MILELAGE....the 7m sucks up way more gas compared to this, not saying that the 7m isnt good on gas.plus a little weight difference also compared to a 7m 3.0 .im not sure what the weight diff is but its significant i bet...and i like to be different .and as far as most parts go..been researching , suprisingly alot is compatible with 7m's and 1j's..a few things off a 2J but not much...its not that pansey ..stock is only 10hp down of A 7MGTE stock ...do miss torque from a 7m but i like the rev happy 2.0l 8k redline(i dont ever take it that far)
