The whole build up will take about 2 to 3 weeks... and included are some goodies like JE Pistons, ACT 6-puck and an ACT Flywheel :-)

thats what I was thinking, but then Nick pointed out that it wont make more power, it'll just be stronger....so it has the potential to be teh s!ckness once he upgrades the turbo
what turbo did you say you were going with Forrest? I was talking to Ed last night and I couldn't remember

Ya, I think I am good money wise, although I was worried for a bit. I just ended up getting a 401k loan that came through so its good because once you pay it off the interest goes back to you... sort of like borrowing your own money, much better then maxing out a 20% APR credit card.
Hopefully the good kind of bumpy ride on these bumbs: (*)(*)

Glad to hear that it's starting to come together for you Nick. Mike is the man.
Matt, still looking like Jan (almost the whole month in SD)
We get home in undeer a week
can't wait to get in the S14
Btw....thread jack just cuz Nick hasn't seen the Silvia


The silver 5 spoke wheels are Advan TCII's that I got for $1000 and sitting on $700 Cusco Coilovers, $100 Carbon Fiber Hood, exhaust and intake so far. That's my new biatch

Nice ride Marc. when you get to finally take it out let me know how it feels. I have been eyeing the Cusco coilovers as a replacement when teh Zeals go bad. hopefully not for a long time.

Man, I can't believe how much **** you got from them! Fortunately, most of us aren't like that
. Good luck getting everything figured out...I too am curious as to what the issue was with your motor.

Motor replacement simply is NOT as straight forward as many might imagine. Murphy's Law begins to hold more truth than ever before. I wish you the best of luck in your motor build. Try to take things with a grain of salt when and if they don't go as planned. For gods sake if you find the hole you dug starting to get deeped, climb out before you're in over you head. If this begins to happen, get in touch with someone who has experience heading down this road. Like I said it gets bumpy.
