Thursday: yeah she's not being very nice to me but maybe the two new gt2860r-7's, tomei exhaust manifolds and dump pipes might cheer her grumpy ass up!

CollegeKid: Yeah I'm trying to stay focused on the progress I've made instead of how long its taken/how much money I've spent! Don't scare me with those horror stories!!

Future: Yeah they can be really lazy sometimes, just gonna have to whip mine into shape!

Just the worst news!

well see I might be finally getting rid of it this winter!
 
at first I didn't read how he was talking about the green and I thought you were getting rid of the whole 240 and RB. Got scared for a moment. haha. But yeah I don't mind it as much either.

Actually I played with that thought for about a month before I decided to order turbos

I think if you sold the car now, we would all find you, hold you down and tickle the shit outta you. No sellin, make it run nao
Good to know that my decisions in this build thread can put me in physical danger! Well I've replaced damn near every part so I should be in the home stretch here soon!

Man I'm sorry to see all that bad news man. Almost scares me since I'm planning on doin the swap too lol but glad to see ur stickin with her. Keep it up man. Can't wait to see/hear her roar. :)
Yeah you almost need to think of a budget and then double it unless you know all your parts are quality!

Holy shit. What is left to do with this car?
I read your 10 steps to success but do you really plan on doing all of that?

Yes im planning to do everything in the ten steps, turbos, manifolds and dump pipes get here tomorrow. It will also eventually need a proper brake upgrade because i have a feeling stopping is going to be an issue and then after that Im sure I'll have some suspension issues and eventually need a new diff. 10 steps are gonna be within 2013 and everything else will be done when it breaks.
