tear down/ build up

[knight007]

So basically ever since i finished my turbo install i was waiting for it to blow( new it was gonna happen just a matter of time) so 5 months later and spiking at 14lbs i fryed my clutch, bent some valves, and blew a headgasket nice huh. So instead of fixing the head and clutch basicly band aid it, I decided do it right and do a mild build. It won't be done for a while since im no where near rich and a college student but anywho heres some pics

Good luck man! I'm at the exact opposite end of the spectrum - my motor's fully built and ready to go, just waiting for the rest of my turbo parts to arrive and then it's install time.

Check out the 2GNT for sale section, there were actually several built motors for sale within the past couple weeks there (Terry - StarTurboTalon had two in fact, and there were others). I'm in college too on a very limited budget but I found an opportunity and jumped on it. Maybe you can too and get your car back together sooner than you think.

And wingless is clean, I plan to remove my wing eventually too.

haha maybe we should throw ours together and have a complete car . I'm hoping to have it done in a year motor, paint, and tuned. its a long shot but i figure its kinda realistic

Nice. That motor of yours is too close to your car for my comfort. But you know what you're doing.

Keep us updated.
