Wondering what is the best thing to do right now. i'm wanting more power out of my car and i guess being on my p's restricts me even more. The motor in it was swapped out to a gen 2 ej22 and by looks of it the rocker covers look like they are on the way out. I have no clue why they put a ej22 from a gen 2 in it. my theory is due to the paint difference at the front it was involved in a head on smash ;( Any way i just want to know what is the best thing to do right now? (engine swap, Sell?, fix original motor and just leave it till i finish my p's or anything else) cheers.

I'd say keep your current car until you're off your P's, then once you can drive a fast car, buy one!

Troofs.

Don't bother modifying the engine to get more power. You won't. Its been covered alot here before.

Get the car to a point where it's going to be reliable, Fix the leaks ect ect.

Save a bit of money every week until you are a fully licensed, Sell the liberty, Buy a boosted car with the money you have saved and enjoy. Trust me!
