I can't park my car without turning around to look at it before walking away.

EVO's and STI's look like I'm taking my family to disneyland. That's what my wife's minivan is for.

But they want it done right and as easily as possible so someone like you or I can do this swap on our own.

It's also nice knowing that they are trying to keep the OEM CANBUS functionality, unlike the WGP car which didn't have a functioning gauge cluster and who knows what else.
This is the info I was looking for! Thanks!

Do you think fabbing a Ford AWD sequential transaxle + ecoboost will be cheap? lol

Not at all. IF I do that though, my total costs won't put me above 50K though depending on which transaxle I go with, it might push a little over...

You've got to understand. I have access to CNC mills, gunsmithing accurate metal lathes and I would do EVERYTHING myself etc....

I also have a 3d printer and can do lost PLA casting for aluminum composite metals...

I'm not paying someone else to mod my own car. I do EVERYTHING myself...

I'm not most people so know that when I say something, it's because I can do it.

I haven't decided which route I'm going to go yet. I may just transfer the entire drivetrain from a wrecked camaro.
