thanks guys. To the guy thats also in highschool. I actually got the car for 3600. Its got 55k miles on it so its a crazy steal. the only thing is the under carriage got some rust and a lil bit of rot ### its been sitting for couple months in a garage. But he also included (other than the parts in the car already) Evo 9 brembo brakes (the whole hubs), Evo 9 rims, ETS FMIC, the stock turbo & stock headers with a tial wastgate

Your almost to the 60,000 mile mark check out your timing belt you might want to get a full timing job done if you don't know if it has ever been done and make sure you do it about ever 60,000 miles.:thumb:
 
Um yeah that is one hell of steal. Mine has 149k on it been sitting for five years. I guess in a way I can get mine up and running for under 3600 but still you have a whole bunch of mods :) I am jealous

Hey, well im honestly new to DSMs....ever since i saw the fast and furious I wanted a 2gen. this is my second car. my first one was a 97 eclipse RS. with a auto tranny -.- my mom said i cant get one ### ill b street racing but i bought it from my dads buddy and he did the intake, full OBX exhaust,cams, & cam gears. for a 420a motor...it was fast. But im mad pumped to get this car working for the summer. I bet your doing the same:hellyeah:

Dont worry. Its in the shop now. Its getting fresh oil, the brembo calipers (front 2) put on & one of the codes checked out. Once i get her to pass emissions & registered thats one of the top things on my list. next to the fuel pump & injectors. So the ones u posted are the most reliable? ### im gunna get those exact ones u posted
 
this thread got screwy... anyway, to both of you. def comp test and if you plan on running higher boost go ahead and put on a mls hg with arp head studs. new gaskets where necessary. dont even #### with safc, just get link and be done with it. 1000cc injectors for sure, they will idle fine w link. afpr,pump, good boost controller, lc1 wideband, etc etc... but i would def go ahead and pull the head, maybe have it decked and cleaned for good measure, throw the arps and new mls on there; good luck dudes!!
