It means your going to have to take an angle grinder to your car followed by a lot of welding - big job and very probably not worth it unless your going for big power (and questionable even then)

you mean if I only want to swap gearboxes it is not worth it?
:-(
if it is that way, than better to ...

Yes pedals will be story for itselfs.

what about power steering in that case?
what about lowering front end? do I have to take shorter and stiffer springs? (any sugestions?)

cheers!!! thanx!
2.3 l engine is little too big because of gas consumtion (I'm a student afterall)
