Well, i need to sell a few things in order to buy parts and find someone who has done this before and is willing to help locally. My guess is if everything goes down correctly, i should be able to start this process mid june because i still am in school and i still have quite a way to reach the 10k mark, im at 6k and i dont want to have a car laying in my garage for all those months begging me to finnish her. :(

what do you got for sale man, for the right price everyone wants somthing

04 CRG Road Rebel- 2 engines, tons of wheels/tires, tons of spare parts all for about hopefully 6k which is really a good deal considering i invested 20k in my racing season but that will be a local sell and i think i might have to reconsider the price, it was a rough estimate, but yeah as soon as the kart is sold i can get down to business. I also have to refresh the kart as soon as I can, which could be in a while considering im going to be in canada, im in high school, and have a job. :)

they look sweet, are sweet, but are bitter on the wallet, 30k for the first season... food for thought :( Im just gonna get it fixed and do my last set of doughnuts and sell her

i am thinking about a somewhat more advanced swap for my e30, after i get the m-coupe suspension installed that i finally have all of the components gathred together installed, i had been thinking board and stroked fire breathing m20 or mild m30, they would have around the same power but the m20 would be pricey then i saw the s38 on ebay the other day and now i have a goal, that thing would be about perfect for my desired power output and willingness to rev, i am not particularly interested in a m50/s50 swap
