What to do?

Im saving money and and almost @ the goal. With this moolah i can by a new block for my RA64 Celica which is on the side of the house empty with out a motor. Or By my SPT Struts for my impreza, thus finishing up my suspension set up for AutoX? I want them both but not sure what to do fist.

I like to see my results quickley, so the struts might meet that need. Because if i get the block i would still have to Replace hella ish. But then the block would be out of the way and i can work on it when i wish.

Any one have any advice?

Ebay is not really that much cheaper. And if it is Shipping is a Biitch. I have thought about selling the Celica. But that was my first car i Bought myself, so its pretty much a labor of love. Plus after this Autox season i want to start attending some of the drift schools with it.

well then that's $50 you can save by going with the eBay deal. no need to throw away $50 just because they say "SPT" on them.

But no tax... @ 7% of $450 thats a bout $35 all together 485 toatal. Not that much better than just 500 plus standard shipping which should be less than e-bay.

Im thinking about the block too. But i wont need the struts till like march. Maybe if i save untill then i should have enough for both?
