Don't take it the wrong way, but I've known quite a few people who suddenly jump into the car game with tons of money, and are like, "I wanna do EVERYTHING!" - but they don't know what they are getting themselves into. Like, you see it at a car show and feel, "Wow, that's totally cool, I want to do that!" - I can understand that feeling, because I've been there before.

But, if your goal was to make a track beast, I wanted to know, that top mount would cause you trouble down the road more than likely. The heat soak could be problems, and could you imagine if your turbo seals went, or you simply blew a fitting with it there? Helloooooo INFERNO.

I'm never disappointed with peoples plans as long as they have an end goal, and their method for getting there is reasonable. For instance, If your end goal was to simply have a pretty car that did 550WHP? I wouldn't care what you did at all...a "numbers queen" is just that. Just look at every 1000HP Supra on the road now, that never see's anything more than an occasional 50-100 pull on public roads. But if your goal was, "I want to be a race car driver, and this is the build I'm going to use to get there", I'd quickly try to tell you that it's not a reasonable way to approach that.

Your goal is, "I want a fast car that looks good, and occasionally hits the track, but nothing more". Sounds good to me. Just make sure you do your supporting mods, and be prepared for the potential to wreck it is all.

You have any track experience yet? If not, might I recommend joining a good bunch of us at Summit Point on May 18-19? Getting your feet wet with it can't come soon enough. It's harder to learn to drive fast with a fast car, than it is with a slower car.

Yeah I completely understand. I really just got into cars recently in all honesty. I always wanted a 350z since I saw one when I was in junior high and then shortly after high school I was able to buy a 370z. I never really even cared that much about cars I just wanted something kinda fast and that looked stunning. However after buying the 370z things started to change and I just started reading and learning as much I could on anything automotive be it regarding this car or anything else. A year later Im looking to do a in my opinion a modest build. If I was going to hardcore track I would be doing my build completely different. But for the time to time I think it will do good. I dotn want to be the stereotypical car that never does anything and is just built and does the occasional roll race because I know those types and their cars and that just isnt fun to me.

I would certainly love to tag along. I dont have much track experience, im really young.lol I would certainly be up for any training/practice/tips and tricks I could be given. Ill look into this event or if you could message me any details that would be great!

He loved it, the install went quite well and I did not install the exhaust for him, he took it to the shop to do it. Thanks DM

Pricing it in my head, your final build is already approaching 25-30K. Your "FIRST" build approaching 10K-ish. But you likely know that already.

Okay good to know...once it goes in for the initial tune I will be buying uprev to tune myself and make little adjustments. My friends is very exeperienced with MegaSquirt tuning and knows how to adjust tunes or tune from the ground up.

10k though isnt even close. message me if you want more detail its surprising.lol
