if you can't afford $3500 for spinners then you wont be able to afford to have someone install a ford mondeo engine into your car.......  ::)

welcome to the site and all that formality.

just a helpful hint. Rice in the form of spinners it looked down apon in these circles. As is excessive amounts of chrome, extra decals, HUMUNGOUS stickers, seat covers and anything else that would suit someone driving a lancer.

hit the nail on the head there Tas. yeah sorry but you'd be wasting your $$ ash. if you want 100+ kw a lot cheaper, go for the ka24de.
I was quoted $1500 for one of these with loom & ecu. SSStick got a mtr for $700 i think. would be 'A LOT' easier to fit.

your in tasmania, what area?  :o  :)

I doubt you'd have much luck finding a KA24DE in tassie, but it's worth a shot so just ring around as many wreckers as you can.
