You are kinda going about asking for help, the wrong way (IMO) I went back and looked when you first posted on 'Mania, and it was way back in 2006. Have you even made an effort to get out and meet anyone on here? I know your car hasn't been down that long! You really can't just ask for help from people, who have no idea who you are, and you never even mentioned compensating anyone, for said help, too!
Just my opinion again, but that's just not the way you go about things.:nono:

Tom that's a good start! Another thing is... Make and effort in trying to fix it yourself! Pick youself up a FSM and get crackin on reading! Start a build thread where you can ask question and you can show people what problem's you are having. Go to meet's and introduce yourself and ask question's then. But to simply ask somewon to help you with a swap is a bit much when it sounds like you haven't even prepared yourself! Good luck.

any "helpfull" advice any of u can give? instead of this ongoing ridicule i seem to be receiving? i have read on forums alot of ppl say not to give up but ya know its hard to do something this intense with little to no knowledge of cars and i close to just putting it in the crusher cuz i cant figure out lots of things with it and am just ridiculed on the forums . .. so if u got something to say that could be potentially helpful to me doing this then please post it and if not then plz dont post here i came here seeking help thats all . . maybe i go about it the wrong way . . maybe i choose the wrong words to say . .whatever the case may be i am just looking for some information
thx kwnate for the pm

The above link is a GREAT one to start with. Undoubtedly you'll still have questions. Post them and someone will try to help.
A 'Build Thread' isn't a bad idea either. You get to track your progress and use it as a reference in the future. A LOT of people benefit from build threads and hey...we're all supra junkies and LOVE build threads!
We poke fun and are a little harsh at times. If it starts to get to you, just tell yourself...I'm not ugly...I'm a beautiful Monkey!
Now THAT was funny! And I'm putting it my sig!!!
