well since i'm spending big money on wheels right now I'll be shy of 5200 after new lug nuts and tires for the LXZ's
The motor I need to have disassembled and inspected to see if it's any good (my spare)
My spare t25 just finished getting rebuilt but I can't even pay for it because I commited to paying for the expensive ass wheels.
I need to get the spare motor built first, then I'll get the EFR turbo 6074 and FR manifold to go with it. Then Haltech and Racepak dash display. After that it's a matter of taking the car out of commision to fabricate ducting for the high mount intercooler setup.
Still trying to figure out how I want to play the radiator game, and if I want one of those crazy dual core radiators that I can run both my water and oil through so I don't have an external oil cooler taking up space in the ducting I will need to build.
Then hoping I can get someone to mold my ducting out of carbon fiber or kevlar and make some nice bracing for that.
Once the new engine build starts the car will have no choice but to be de-commisioned from daily driving so I'll have to buy another daily, there is just no way around it. So much money to wrap my head around I can't even pin a day on when a track day will even be relevant.
Factor in I still want to move into a house with my own fucking garage so I don't have to drive to my buddy Jeff's house or inconvenience someone else for space to wrench on it.
Maybe 2-3 more years realistically.
Obviously once the motor stuff is all situated I will probably take fuel and aero a bit more serious, and will definitely want some krazy kognition wing for the car. I'll just play it by ear financially and what I can afford within means without being on that ramen diet man.
Too old for that shit, starving to impress.
