pffft, sounds like a 3rd place at least

supercharger huh? would it work with my auto? If it takes up a lot of space I'd be screwed as well, but no big whoop. I've thought of FI even before owning the car, but 3-4 engines later if i had $$$ to spend on boost I'd probably just do an ls-xx swap instead, it would mean a new trans, possible rear end, it'd be a ton of work but if I really wanted to do something ***** out that would be my choice, hell, I'd even leave the "corvette" valve covers on it just to **** off both the vette and rotary purists at the same time, and I'd keep all the custom work in the interior just to drive the sports car purists nuts as well

Yeah he has a Hymee SC that he decided not to use because he wanted more Powa. It's brand new.

I have thought about an LS swap but honestly if I didn't have an engine that broke i would get bored so if I swap it will likely be to a REW or 13BRE.

true, I already get giggles just piddling around in my T5 wagon so to have that in a nicer chassis would be a hoot. I've never even priced a hymee, scared to know what he would want for it

He wanted 10g aus funny money for it. So after shipping, importation fees and money conversion you are looking at 12-13k.

Of course mine is for sale for much less American moola.

Good lord, that's more than my car is probably worth I'd love to do something like that but it would take months if not longer to even come close to saving up for that, has anyone with an auto even attempted it? I only know of a couple of auto's I've seen.

I don't know of a Hymee on an auto but it sure would be cool.

ahh cool, I've been looking through wekfest galleries today and man, my car isn't getting any love at all, I saw tons of people take pictures of it but oh wel. I guess I should have rolled up without a hood on it or threw some 40mm spacers on the works or something

I was thinking a big creepy clown on the hood holding odd looking balloons would have helped a ton.
