I want to be able to enjoy the car.
As far as the Greddy, I am not sure if the engine bay will accommodate the wastegate in stock location. Maybe consider the W/G relocators.
Turbonetics might cross up with the steering column. Lots of issues. Lets just get the car up and running first and worry about that later..why don't we.

On the other hand it wouldnt be a bad idea cause I could eventually take the stickers off over time. I dont even know where I would start to pursue a sponsor....
So if you want a JWT TT kit, contact Jim Wolf. If that fails, move on to your 2nd choice and so on. It just takes a little legwork, a few e-mails and some persistence. Generally it involves making a commitment to show the car at a certain number of spots over a certain period of time. You can expect a discount on the kit and additional "rebates" for each media event you attend. If I were you, I would probably first contact magazines that might want to publish your efforts. I think you could easily make the cover of several. They could arrange sponsors for you. The downside is that they would probably ask you not to publish your work in a public forum, which would suck for us. :PGood luck. With your skills and determination, I'm sure you'll succeed regardless, but if someone is willing to recognize your efforts and you can help each other out, why not?

My perfect color if money permits would be this as a base coat:
With a translucent Black over the top, but it depends on how much I end up spending on the car. It will be some sort of black tho.

Finally! Nismoparts.com got my S15 core support and bumper reinforcement in, should have the parts by the middle of next week. Once they are installed, and the motor gets mounted, I can take the motor back out and then I can take the car to have it sand blasted which will be personally done by me! Now I just need a damn transmission!
