waz... it's not about having everything done first. even if you have everything done, maintenance cost goes up and also the useage cost. it's not just the kit itself or the engine if it blows. it's also tires you go through like every few months, and also more gas you have to buy and the oil changes you have to do often. better have enough money backing the damn thing or be sponsored, otherwise, just have a few thousand to spend on FI isn't gonna get you very far down the road.

i think peter's kit is a prototype... i don't think he spent any money. or maybe if he did, it's a small amount.

want to drift? or track the car on a road course? suspension, brakes, and a power steering cooler, that my friend, will make all the difference. you might not beat everyone, but hell, their cars are probably not in your class anyways.

m6... get the lsd first... drift with no lsd is just called losing control... hahaha jk.
omfg... im talking about being DONE with the MOST EXPENSIVE PART! not done with everything... you must ****** be high... thats like saying... after i pay for the SC kit i dont need any more oil change...

would have been perfect. just as you have expenses PLEASE REMEMBER, everyone else does as well, no one asked for a list and it almost seems a little extensive and out of the way to bother producing it ... but since we are sharing expenses here are mine, I have 3 kids and 2 baby mommas to support, a grandmother that can not provide for herself so i send her $300-$400 a month just to help take care of my sister and help her out with her mortgage so she does not lose her home, she is in full bed rest as well and i pay for her medical bills seeing as she needs blood transfusions 3 times a week because of her diabetes and her insurance does not cover it. $64,438 (left) school loan from 2004. 2 cell phone bills, the condo to pay for, a GF with expensive tastes and product to stock up on to go along with m0nkies endless party ventures. and everyone wonders why my car looks the way it does and im almost 360 miles over needing a oil change

so i guess we can all just act like your reply to my question was the following and my response can be found below
You come out of those ventures with more $$$... how are u listing that as a liability

im thinking something bigger... like a corvette or something. Those things have alot of power out of the box, and respond amazingly to simple boltons.
