Wow this is um, sad, but then wonderful. Sorry to hear the issues, thanx for letting me know about this, you couldve text me. I guess you ended up putting more money then you thought, but now itll truly last forever. HAha now it may be that time for wheels.

haha my bad. Honestly i wasn't exactly excited to go run around telling everyone about the sh1tty situation, but now that it's in the past i can move on with it, and i'm excited to get the car back.

as far as wheels are concerned i'm wanting to do something lightweight and 17" on this car.

Damn that's a lot of work. Glad to see you decide to stay with it.

Just ordered wheels

17x9.5 +38mm Enkei RPF1's with 275/40/17 Nitto NT-05's for all 4 corners. the wheels weigh 16.5lbs each, should be fun. This is how the car will look once its finished (the old owner used to have rpf1's on there so i found some old pics, also before there was any dings or body issues which i will have repaired once the car is back):

thanks

yea i've read good things. I love the tread pattern, even though that's superficial, it just looks so damn cool.

nope. needed a new radiator (gonna get a mishimoto), as well as a whole bunch of other random hoses etc and other bits. all things you would assume you need but you dont know 100% until the engine is out. but my feeling is do it once, do it right! i dont want any issues once the car is done, so i'm having everything replaced that needs replacing. a lot of stuff goes bad in a 15+ year old car with 140k. things dry up crack etc. just wait till you have your motor pulled, and open the can of worms that starts with the phrase 'well as long as the motor is out.....'

All those parts actually arrived at the shop today though. the new motor should be physically IN the car within a week. the turbos have been ceramic coated as well as the manifolds

b1adesofcha0s · 06-09-2011, 05:16 PM

Any idea of when you will be getting it back?

Jeffblue · 06-09-2011, 06:09 PM

Early july
