Well my mechanic that im speaking of is a family friend. He quoted me $3000 to rebuild my current engine and $1000 of that is labor. Well then i said well maybe i will find a JDM engine and he said oh ya " i put one of those in a celica like two years ago it worked out great , gave me the # to the guy and i called him and he confirmed. He quoted me for the engine swap $500 for labor. HE is doing this all on the side not at a dealership or a shop. He is doing this at his place. He actually works for toyota and he asked around and did some reseach and found of course some horor stories but most were good. He actualy said that he would by this car from me and then i said well then what would you do rebuild or JDM. He said JDM. HE said that you could beat the snot out of them. Well thats my story. now most of you guys are saying not to by 7m. Is the 7m really that bad? Well thanks for helping me out and i hope this all turns out for the better.

ps. If any of you have any good/succesful stories about the JDM 7mgte i would love the hear it
