ok so im finally doing the swap lol so basically im going through a parts list of things required for the swap and things ill do just for fun.
ok so my car is a s5 with the full s5 t2 drivetrain
things im buying for the swap
Motor (s5 t2 from Rotary Shack, any comments on them??)
ecu (stock jdm ecu)
fmic core - Trust (where i can i buy a trust core??????!!)
fmic pipe work (local shop)
exhuast (apexi GT single exit exhuast)
downpipe (some help here?)
greddy profec s (how do you like this as compared to the profec B?)
and some new wheels and tires... (cheapos for now, saving for volk gtu's *uber drool*)
so far thats all i can think of.... i probably left some **** off so throw it out if you remember something i dont or something i forgot to add on there.
also what do i need to remove to throw a FMIC up there? and i saw rotary performance has the greddy TB elbow for like 100 bucks.
ok.... so i believe thats it let me know what i might encounter as far as problems go. i have a team of us pretty experienced rotarians lol so im confident in our abilities just putting together this damn list of crap and ordering it

1200 for the s5, a little steep but its better than getting screwed by some unknown company, no ecu included but he is sourcing one for me. the owner robert seems like a super super cool guy
