    Any more information regarding this ICE swap? Why would be a good place to start ;):)

    My '08 Gen 2 is still on its original ICE with 760,000kms on the clock ..... it was only taken off the road to become a donor for my 2006 gen 2, because the enamel orange taxi paint needed yet another polish and it had a shudder in the lefthand front that I never actually got around to looking at ..... I needed front brake pads for the '06 and the new NiMh battery, so that was it, off the road, one less rego, too many cars at the moment anyway .....

    Sure, this video linked has more information in the description.


    Why, well I was thinking might be a newer engine with lower mileage and be more fuel efficient. Plus they're cheaper than the gen 2 engines, at least last I looked.
