Where are you and your friends going for engine and body work these days? What do you think or have heard about these local jdm engine venders?
Thanks man, I've seen those listings too. I haven't had any experience with swaps nor engine vendors, and the locals I do know have swapped in their own in their spare time.

My A3 is still running well too, it's just painfully underpowered.
