vagen Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I never thought it would be so difficult to fund one of these swaps.... Life likes to kick me when I'm down. I am to the point of considering the sale of my long hunted and just acquired Peugeot flat spokes. I'm just getting frustrated and need to vent:banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renob123 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I never thought it would be so difficult to fund one of these swaps.... Life likes to kick me when I'm down. I am to the point of considering the sale of my long hunted and just acquired Peugeot flat spokes. I'm just getting frustrated and need to vent:banghead: Just don't feel too rushed to start/complete it. It will probably take way longer than expected to complete the EJ swap. I'd hang onto the Pugs and make up the money over time. If you sell them to buy another part for the swap, then you'll be in the same boat next time you need a part and don't have the money. Jacob P.S. Oh yeah, and it's totally worth it:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ive done trades for parts , I have the plate and flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 ^^^This A lot of my swap was done this way (Thanks Scott) I knew I was going to do the swap before my current engine died on me. I believe we warned you ahead of time, so you could have had the head start you needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo'J Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 It took me two years to get all the parts together in a pile. Now its all in EXCEPT for good injectors and a good tune. I started in what? december? It still wont run right and my dd motor is slowly crapping out so its got a motor waiting, now freshly resealed.

vagen Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Turbone I took your advice and started putting money aside I just didn't anticipate the EA blowing so soon. oh well I am really close to the engine purchase price. Scott what do you need for the plate and flywheel. I have a few parts I can trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 i have a harness i am willing to sell it is already cut and labled you would just need to put it in pm me if you are interested. On another note i did my ej swap in about 4 weeks or 2 months if you count converting the car from 2WD auto to 4WD 5 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'subaru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Im not sure what your up against in the area you live, but I was able to part a complete car for about 250.00, anything I wanted..and that helps with the over all budget. One thing im sure of is when its all done I really dont want to know how many dollars ive put into a 20 year old wagon. Good luck dude, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
