Read a lot of the guys sigs....BTW, the swap you were considering would be more hefty than you imagine. Springs, transmission, PROm, these are just a few of the replacements you'd have to make.
Hmm...guess I could start by putting MY sig.

Best way to make your car faster is learn how to drive it to its max. Anyway, check out my sig too! hehe... a sugestion, when you get new coil/ingnition box/ wires, dont forget to open up the gap on the spark plugs. i think stock is .035 and i've got mine at .05 and got a definite improvement in gas milage as well as throttle response. Oh, dont forget. STICKERS STICKERS and STICKERS!!!haha. payce.
