That doesnt end anything. The OP did something that was a new option not many people would think to try and people immediatly go into the normal mirko or nothing stance.
Your car better have a pre 98 antenna base, with a Mirko, and if you want performance only option is a 3L, dont bother trying other motors or trans options, and dont waste yout time with the 2.5L that came in it.
I understand these options work and work well. And there is nothing wrong with tours that have these mods, pretty kick a$$ cars, but if someone wants to try something else people here act like theres no reason to.
I don't think anyone bashed him for trying it, people just stated how they felt about the end result. People roll their eyes at most engine swap possibilities because talk is cheap. Tons of people come and go saying I want to try xx engine swap, yet no one has ever done one besides a 3L to my knowledge. Historically it hasn't happened, so all we do is warn people about that and guide them, as best we can, to money being better spent elsewhere. We're thrifty by nature, you know.
sorry about the thread derail TRicker
