LMFAO about engine conversion bit
how many things that lees fitted actully go wrong, i belive the answer is none
do engines fall out - no
do wheels fall off - no
no driveshafts come out - no
all the problems are down to fitting 15 year old engines into light hatchbacks and ragging them senseless and people expect them to work faultlessly
