Help this FC n00b!

Hey all, I'm buying an 86 GXL for $800 and I was wondering how much it would be to do a complete TII swap. I can do the labor myself and probably just need someone to do the wiring for me. If there's any place that you guys know if where I can get the parts, please let me know. I am mechanically capable but I need to price this out before I decide. If it's too expensive I'll just stick with the NA for now and save up for a real TII.

Jaime

PS. Thanks in advance

Save up for a real TII. For the following reasons.
Stronger drive train
better cooling
wiring is already there
bigger wheels and aero package

Well he does have an 86... the lightest model (year wise). Not a bad candidate for a swap

Ya know..... I actually bought one of those Initial D ZipZap's at Radio Shack because it was a micro, remot controlled FC!! I love the thing! I chase my cat everywhere with it. I have to repaint it black though to match my car!!!!

Here is my opinion... get the N/A for 800 bux... then see if rotary is really for you!! Then, get a TII with a blow motor for cheap and build THAT car up!!!

I'm not a big fan of the N/A TII swaps.. its a big enough pain modding a TII let alone doin all that other crap.

I fact, i whish i still had my 89 GTU as a daily driver, that car was a lot more fun, it wasn't as fast, didn't have the cool factor, but you got in it ans drove... i never did anything to it but replace the clutch and add a cool air box and it ran great. I just got tired of getting beat by mny third gen buddies all the time!!!! (one of them still has my number, but he's got 40K in his car!!!)
