do that shit yourself.
Are you converting to 4ag?
are you swapping everything to make it a gts?

i would do it for myself but im too busy with work and school (Itt) and I wish i could find the time to do it. I dont want the full GTS converison i just want the motor swap just to make the car more realible. My current motor is about to go. and i just want something with a little more ummpf. instead of this gay 4ac.

hey the 4ac is not gay it happens to be the same motor i have been driving for about 5 years so play fair your 4ac is gay maybe but not mine i have a 4ac with port and pollish, 3 angle valve job, shaved 30 thousanths, weber outlaw top draft carb., and a 2" inch manifold back exhaust w/ no cat. and a Pilot flow threw muffler. it has balls like a beat up 4age that hasn't had a oil change in 18 months but it does what i need..........

Why would XAT turn away work?

they didnt really turn the work away, its just they up'ed the price for the stage 1 swap 1500. And i was like whoa. So im trying to find another shop, but if not i may just fork it over......the 4ac is stock so its a turtle.

www.centralFLPerform.com Sean use to work at xat, I'm sure he could probably work you in. His phone number is on the website. He swapped in a 3sgte into my celica in 3 days. Cleanest swap I've ever seen! Putting in a 4age is peanuts for him.

Sean does awsome work. CFP is one of the greatest shops around.
He will do it right and not do you wrong.
