I can dream right?

I'm going to try to get just a 3rd gen block if i can, so most likely not 3rd gen throttle body..

UPDATE: I'm still alive and the car is as well. Hasn't changed in a year... this was it last year when i came home for break...







and this is this year when I came home for Xmas break...


So it really hasn't changed any... at all.. except there was more snow last December...

Its sad that I haven't been able to touch it in a year... but this time next year I will have all the $$ I need to order everything for the celi

I haven't given up, I've just learned to be patient

Glad to know that I haven't been forgotten! Yes Steff it has been way too long, I haven't been back to Newport since 07' I need to venture over there soon and see all the work you and T-Bone have been doing with the Celi's!!!




On a different note I think I'm going to try to mold my riser blocks to my wing while I'm home for break.. its cheap and I have the materials all I need to do is actually do it... atleast it would be progress.. since I really can't do much to the car while its covered in snow... not that I have any money to do anything to it right now either haha

Anyone have any advise so that it doesn't crack when i mold it?

The hatch and now a coupe are both off the road at my parents house. I'm getting a loan in march for a large amount and will if possible import a GT4 into Canada and buy it as a used vehicle and put it on the road in the US. I figure this is easier and cheaper than trying to convert the hatch. If not then I'll start throwing money into the hatch again..

i've always wonder if that would work, It sounds like a good idea. Let us know how it goes

I don't know if it is true or not but I read on a forum that when you import a car from another country if the motor is not in the car then you can register it as a "kit" car don't take my word for it tho

anyways I was wondering if you would be parting out your st if you get a gt4??
If you are great let me know I live in mass near Worcester if not that's cool too
