[Ted95]

oh no, traitor...

BEAMS is sexier. LOL, thats ok, i may buy that beams i showed you if still available.

The idea of owning one is better than the reality, it seems.

really depends on goals.

Whats the goal? To have a slow car?
Those things put down MAYBE 170hp at the wheels. Thats really nothing amazing.

I do agree that they are "cool" because they are rare and come with a red valve cover and a catchy name, but if you want more power out of a 4cyl motor, you're going to want a turbo charged engine.

My goal was to be able to do a swap by myself, with no help, and complete. I knew nothing about cars, now i do some.

Why does everybody think that everybody's goal is to do 300 hp.

Slow car yes, but you got to learn somewhere, not everybody gets high with turbo. I wanted to learn and i did, maybe in the future, i may get a turbo car, but for now i have achieved what so many talk about, and never do

I have nearly Completed a swap. With no help, and Im happy, actions are bigger than words.

Yes i have a slow sexy car, but that is what i want for now.

Some people like it some dont, I dont care, i can have anything i want, and I chose wisely for now...

And don take this the wrong way, you know more than i would ever know about cars, and i respect that, but please dont downgrade my accomplishment. To me its amazing, what i have done and that I never tought about quitting in a single moment.

end of rant. LOL

No more threadjacking.
