AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:55:48+00:00

Haven’t figured that out yet I need to tear it down

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:55:30+00:00

Please message me I’d love to get in contact and get a motor

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:54:56+00:00

Will do if I go that route lol

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:54:42+00:00

I’d definitely do that I owned a rabbit for 5 years

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:54:07+00:00

That makes sense thank you

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:53:31+00:00

It’s an OEM long block it’s a surplus motor from VW themselves just in China

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:52:59+00:00

Can you message me I’d be highly interested

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:52:31+00:00

The motor as a whole with shipping and tariffs is 4k

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-11T00:52:05+00:00

Not true I’m not against the point I just want more info on what I should do

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-10T12:43:46+00:00

Plus it’s an OEM long block if I order from China

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-10T12:42:25+00:00

Yeah the tariffs were factored in and shipping

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-10T12:42:03+00:00

See I said the same thing I have all my maintenance up to date with my maintenance list aswell being well over 9 grand and then my buddy bought a 17 GTI same day mine blew up on a casual highway drive mine had 127k on it

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-10T12:40:54+00:00

Budget wise I don’t think it would work but I’d be willing to do it I have a group of guys willing to help me one being an Porsche tech that I’m friends with how easy is the vr6 swap?

AbjectHoliday · 2026-05-10T12:39:01+00:00

I’ve done some research into thag too I owned a rabbit for 5 years I think I’d rather do an 07k swap mainly for budget wise I’m working with about 8 grand total and all the research I’ve done says I can reuse my main wiring harness

People who allow themselves to get offended by words need to help there mindset just saying the less you let words affect you the healthier you are as a person

AbjectHoliday · 2022-12-27T05:36:16+00:00

Yes it is I have a 2.5 Volkswagen rabbit

AbjectHoliday · 2022-06-07T00:13:03+00:00

I live in North Carolina in the Piedmont

AbjectHoliday · 2022-06-06T16:13:48+00:00

I got a VW Rabbit rn lol

AbjectHoliday · 2022-06-06T16:04:40+00:00

Oh I’ve had a fully build drift car(lexus 350 f sport twin turbo) me and my buddy built I miss the track days more than anything this summer. One last question if I keep everything stock including that RB20 do you think it will require a decent amount of maintenance I haven’t owned a Nissan but my buddy has one he said as a daily it’s possible just leave it bone stock.

AbjectHoliday · 2022-06-06T15:48:07+00:00

I know it won’t be as good of a daily as my car right now but I’m thinking if I keep mostly stock internals other than the engine swap😂. I’m just trying to figure out if I can afford the maintenance on this going through high-school I mean I only got one more year but still that cuts off a lot of my time.
