If the frame is still the same except the engine in the 7 model, wouldnt it make sense that i could just put a 7 in a car that has a 5? also, does anyone know, im a noob by the way, what it means when my volt light turns on. I like my car so i drive fast and when i accelerate fast, my volt meter runs toward 18 and a red light comes on. BUT, when i drive at night and my lights are on and i press the clutch and brake, my volt meter geos down to about 10-11, and my car dips below 500 rpms then comes back up.

well... yeah.. like midwest said.. you want to put on a 7m to the 5m then why dont you go with the 7mgte.... it takes the same amount of time to work on the 7m on the 5m body tho...
