I would do the same but am praying I don't have to! Reading your story makes me sick to my stomach!

It's no fun but like I said you guys about to go FI better have some money put back for a rainy day when and if it happens.... Iam thinking with the TT kit, clutch, built motor, tune, etc, etc, etc I think it would be safe to say right around 20k. Still a lot less than a gtr and most other cars that could compete with a boosted z apples to apples...

sorry to hear about this :(

i do have a short block for sale though if you're interested in building it, shoot me a PM

I spent that without a built motor :shakes head:

I agree with you on the rainy day fund, it's a must especially if the car is your only one and a DD.

BTW, what parts/work would be needed to have a built motor?

I sent sam from gtm an email about a built long block since their web page says they have a few in stock but there's no telling when I may or may not hear anything back. Should have just bit the bullet and bought a gtr from the get go... !@#$%^&*()

Unless you plan on the build taking months longer than you plan, don't let GTM handle the motor build.

Who else would you recommend chuck for a built long block then? I am ready to get the ball rolling on this... :driving::driving:

Personally, I'd buy all the parts and take it to someone local to you that's good assuming you can handle pulling the motor yourself.

Since my engine loss I cant stop listening to this:

Gotta get another engine soon!!!!!!

^ lol!!

MTI here in GA is great. Most shops send there work there.

Have never heard of them but I am hoping to hear something back from john at z1 and maybe even sam from gtm. Also need a cheery picker and engine stand. Man this is bringing back memories....

You would think some of these company's who make TT kits for our cars would have some built motors ready to go when someone pops a motor.... Hell what do I know..

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

The poeple who make the TT kits can't even get their TT kits out the door.
