    Absolutely man! Same to you! I'm sure we'll end up doing business again in the future. Lol Look forward to it. -James
  5. New motor is almost done. For those of you who don't follow on FB, I bought Detruich's red widebody, and pulled the new motor and transmission from the car, as well as various other sundry items. (Don't worry, the red widebody found a good home, although it is back up for sale.) The setup is supposed to have 0 miles, but has a burnt valve from the intial startup, so I'm going to be using my rebuilt head, with all of it's goodies. I'm going to try a current parts list, and I will be running a factory fuel setup for now, so I will be running stock boost until additional fuel can be provided. -Hybrid 19c turbo -fresh bottom end, forged pistons -fresh head, njv/p&p/banshee cam/schnieder valve springs/arp studs -intercooled using 2.25" hardpipe kit(welded the stock ic with 2.25" fittings) -4 puck sprung clutch/hd pressure plate -s13 almn. radiator -cosmo coils -st sways -xxr 522 16x8 0offset I'm missing quite a few nit-picky items, but wiring has been cleaned up, all grounds cleaned, and I still have a few more chassis/brake items left to purchase. I also would like to locate an lsd rearend sometime soon, and some front/rear strut tower bars. It's interesting to note that minus the blown headgasket, everything on this car looks to have been well cared for. Any pointers would be appreciated. I want this one to last. lol

    Just got a set of 2.25" pipes for my flatty from Jeff. Great guy, easy transaction. All in all, pleasant experience. Thanks man! -James
  7. This thread has helped a lot in my choices for my build. Thanks SQR! Hope to see you at PF13.
  8. Flames need to be more... real... I think that'd look pretty cool... jk
  9. Oh man, I wish I could justify this right now. I want that flatty... And have both digi-dashes...
  10. Braden, looking good man. If you ever need a hand, I'm right down the interstate.
  11. Finally getting back on track, I bought the new engine today. Hoping to get it in by next weekend. After that, just need to handle electronics for swapping it to intercooled status, buy the rear end I'm looking at, and redo all the suspension. While the car is torn down for the new motor, I will be combing through ALL of the engine bay wiring, and all of the body grounds, as well as flushing the fuel lines and replacing filters. But the most expensive singular piece is now out of the way. Shoutout to pancake88 for making that happen! -James EDIT: I also have some bodywork to do(as well as reseal the driver side tail). And I'm talking to some guys about reupholstering the interior the factory colors.
  12. I would LOVE to see this car sell for 4-5k, seeing as that would open the door for our value to go UP. I would pay it if I had it. But the problem is that most of the SQ guys are not going to want to spend that much, regardless of mods. I would post it on CL and try to trade it for something more like what you need, unfortunately that seems to be the best way to get any money out of these. :'(
  13. Bad secondary clip or vac adv. And NEVER EVER let your "friend" near another car. I would have decked even my best friend over that. Turbo's ain't cheap.
  14. Gonna keep on rollin'
  15. Wow... Kid, go read the FSM. You can save this car if you want to. But not without knowledge. Reread this thread, and use the advice given.
  16. HELLO. Mine are in pretty sad condition. Ucw, let me know how much in a pm and i will see what i can do.
  17. What member is that? Glad to have another GA member. Let me know if you need anything.
  18. At least i'm doing it right the first time. Lol
  19. War. War never changes. Not everyone shares your view. Not everyone ever will. Maybe I'll change my way of thinking when i have a family to protect. But for now, it's just me and my roommate, and I'm defending myself if some scumbag comes through that door.
