lol i was mixxing it up some engine some exterior until i was ready to do this and now all focused on engine only but car is still gangster looking the way i have it now just really time for some 18" rims for now. i dont know im kind of just tapped out with spending money on the car but i know as soon as i stop ill probaly change modes and be off modding the car for along while. so hints why im trying to stay in interest. i think im just going to go get the rota gforce or dpts and call it either in gold or gunmetal. i really want to get my varis side splitters driveline offered me a deal on them thats hard to refuse.

i sent a pm friday, but havent gotten anything yet. It was late though, and now its the weekend.... So i probably wont hear anything until monday.
But im getting pretty excited. You know how it is.... except its been almost a year.
Im pretty sure ill have a hard on the whole time im driving my car! hahaha.
It seems like things have just been going against me, but it looks like things are finally turning for the better, and turning out right. Its nice to get a break every once in a while.

Holy crap Nickie. I have read this entire thread. Man I hate to hear that you have had this much bad luck with this car. Atleast it was just with the car and not the joblessness I have been in since before I sold this car.
Hopefully it will work out for you soon.

Thanks a lot! I did have quite a spell of bad luck, and had some encounters with horrible vendors, but things are moving in the right direction now.
Its looking like it all happened for the best. Should turn out really well.

MKC is a great bunch of guys I know Chad Ryan and Scott. They did the previous work on my car and the only reason I decided to not go with them on my current build is because I wanted to do like I am now with a 2.3 and FP Red or even a Black.
But Ryan kept trying to get me to build a 2 liter with a PTE 6262, just felt like he wanted to build my car the way he wanted to not me.
Other then that though they are great guys and I recommend anyone in the area to go to them.

I thought I add all the content over here as well for Nick's build up.
This is the initial tear down and diagnosis of Nick's motor after we pulled it from the car. By the looks of the cam gear position with the Fidanza cam gears it's a wonder how this motor ran at all.
ER should be done with the motor very soon from talking with Nick yesterday, just waiting on the next batch of Rods/Pistons to show up to Aaron.
