hmm, not bad, considering what it is actually, also considering not in syock, close to
US prices too.
Yeah I know the average swap cost for EK / EG chassis. FD supposed to be cheaper. Thanks for the info

A bit expensive is right.
Rell men say d hp vs cost too. But subie parts expensive (supervisor has a base model legacy)
Nissan is vibes but men calling insane prices on Nissan sports cars now.
I eh want an insane sane amount of HP though, just something decent, peppy & fun to drive.

a normal head on collision on a swift does get written off, with repair prices reaching upwards of $50k.
