Which year would you start with???

I am currently leasing an '07 5AT coupe, the lease expires in about 10 months. I fell in love with this car and want to buy a used one when the lease is over and make it into a project car. I really want a 6MT for this project and my question is if there is a certain model year that is better for FI than another. I am probably going to go with the Vortech SC and will get the install done at Function:Tuned.

I admit I'm a newb, but I have done a lot of research. I want as much reliablitly as possible, as I want this car to be with me for a long time. I am considering getting an older model and replacing the motor with a built one, would that be better than going with a late model and not building the motor?

Please be kind...

I would say 05-07 would be a great place to start.

get the rev-up (aka 05-07 6MT) although if it's going to be a project it really wouldn't make a difference because you can adjust redline blah blah blah etc.
