There is a HUGE VW following up here. Literally that thing could be a rust bucket and as long as its lowered and has some hipster addons done people will pay a crap ton for it.

Mostly its just another project. Don't really care how it performs. Its just another build to have on the ol resume. A big turbo Legacy GT is also on this winters line up.

fair enough. it's not a money thing in my mind, it's a time thing. Too much time into a car that will not pay off, but I guess everyone's value on those things is different.

Oh well up here itll pay off. Its literally the stupidest **** that makes money. I guess its jus the "hipster"/"vintage" thing to have. But yeah we do work because we can and want to. Could careless if **** pays off. Especially when its only a $150 car.

Also can you post any links to your s2k build? even videos will work.

closest thing I've got is here:
693 rwhp s2000

I don't really do a great job of logging these things. 300zx rear end and IP crap. Had a dogbox for a while but sold it with an AP2 trans.

It was fun. I got into it in the best way, too. Bought it from a dude that had already spent a bunch of money on go-fast parts, but didn't have the patience to finish the build. Which was lucky, because I still managed to spend a whole bunch of money on it, since it was one of the experimental s2k builds.
