I dont think people are struggling to sell them because of the RB motors. Its just people dont want to buy a SX cause they have recieved the branding of being unreliable!

I myself wanted to buy another SX again and decided not to after a while cause I dont want to redo the whole car again! (not talking about yours Shane).

Its not that we against RB, i had one and loved it for a street car :D
but the day is going to come when you are going to sell it and you wont even get the money back for the parts :x

If you have a BIG budget and resale does not matter then go for RB :wink:

We just trying to help you with experienced advice .If the point is to build up the car yourself then cool but you will lose alot of money :cry:
