Bryan - Yea I'm working today so no K-1 for me..

Doug - I'm 100% out this time. I just did a financial analysis and I would be dead broke after the coilover install.

Get an Evo. Don't waste your money on that. Just imo. They have problems and are not as easy to work with as Evo's.

DAMMIT you are the fourth person to tell me this since I had that idea . I was going revert me car to NA and use some cash for a down but what the hell am I gonna do with 3 cars. I even have to keep my Z at my parents since where I live the apartments only parking is underground and the Z will not even make it over the driveway.

I'm thinking of turning the Z into a track car but do a full engine build NA for now. I have seen some of those STI's make some awesome power with simple bolt ons also and it makes me wonder why our VQ is so hard to mod. I mean nissan pretty much got all they could out of the VQ.

yea. But once you go forged and turbo you are good. Of course will other things you will need. But really if you are going to do whatever to the Z and build it and SR would also be a good idea. Easy to get 350whp out of it with some bolt ons and and with mods you can crazy. Plus its lighter and smaller.

I want to keep the Z but just might part it out for now and do a full NA forged build and then do a custom FI setup. I may sell the kit for dirt cheap but not sure yet on that.
