Lots of work.

I admire your ability to let the negative comments just slide off you. I think that's important. You shouldn't care what a bunch of random, unknown, people on the internet think (even though you're asking for it by posting a build thread).

Build it the way you want, and enjoy it. If you get it done and think " i should have done this a different way" you can always redo it

That said, the colors aren't my style, but keep up the hard work!

I appreciate it man, yeah I'm just playing around with colors , unfortunately I have been using my iPhone to take pics and it's not the best camera so the colors are a bit off. The chassis will be painted soon I have decided to do a urban camp but switching black as for the main color. Also the engine has now been painted te gold and blue. The gold comes from the live strong foundation and the blue is my friends organization called WreckingTheCause which is similar to the livestrong foundation. This is why I chose the random colors.


Also keep in mind that the car was themed purple before and I haven't been able to reprint alot of things yet

I had a chance to sit down to review all of my receipts for everything and well honestly I'm sick but hey guess thats what happens when you build a engine vs just dropping one in. Anyways the goal is 475rwhp, I am however concerned about whether or not the hx35 is going to be sufficient, I have a friend with a ihi rx8 turbo that i'm head over heels for and i'm trying to talk him into coming off of it for a semi-reasonable price.

My injectors should be coming in sometime this upcoming week, I ended up going with Bosch ev14 800cc.

I am very indecisive about my head-gasket thickness though, I am running the cp 8.5:1 static so I'm wanting to go with a relatively thin HG... what are you guys running?
