Nah i dont do any serious hard tracking. I i just daily drive and sometimes mess around in my freeways at night. I just have fun in turns and small twisties here and there nothing hard braking or hard cornering. So then i should be fine right? | | | | | 04-19-2008, 05:16 AM | #55 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Amboy, NJ Posts: 333 |

I really loved this kit, the whine was just OMG! But yea, the gas, cant keep up.
Anyway, I'm purchasing a full S52 swap tomorrow which gives about 20/19 mpg. Its going to take TIME to get it swapped. When ever my dad has time then we will work on it. Unless good o' jesse wants to come and help we can do it faster
Anyway, that's the new plan. 332ti on its way. If im crazy enough, maybe FI also.
I will post pics along the way and i guess this can also be the build thread. I will take pics tomorrow of my current engine bay with the DASC.
Discuss or critisize | So let me get this straight. You are getting rid of your M44 and DASC for a S52 because of the price of gas? __________________ ...steven

Hey man how much do you want for the AC compressor? (Assuming you don't reuse yours for the new engine.)
Mine went out and i just can't afford to buy a new one.
