^^sounds like its coming along pretty good. Any leads on a motor yet?
Unfortunately not as clean as it appears in the pic (see link in sig, I'm tired of ranting about it in every thread)
When I first got it started after buying it in February, it was only running on 1 rotor. After all kinds of diagnosis, I ended up taking off all intake and exhaust gear and replacing gaskets, cleaned injectors and soldered on new injector plugs. It still ran on 1 rotor after all that, so I replaced the injector resistors and the fuel pump (fuel pump was actually fine, long story). I finally got it back up and running last weekend, on 2 rotors this time!! w00t!!!
I am now battling a pissy TPS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkcmOaU2O58 It just dies right after starting now because of the TPS. Oh yeah, it's in dire need of a rebuild too (look at all that smoke!!
) I'm looking to buy a shell soon, there's just too much rust on the god damn thing. Wish me luck.

Before and After...
Just got it done stage 2 2008 BMW black. I got a good deal!...now I just gotta wrinkle out the electrical problems. Hoping the alt is the last step
just finished a hefty grounding mod. Helped 10x more than I expected.

My 91' FC Project aka my bank account killer
It's a GP sport replica kit, but I pulled it off in exchange for a more agressive set-up
Have a S5 engine with a street port. I have some cool parts to put on the car: Knightsport dual pulley (came on the engine), orc twin plate clutch, apexi/ AP engineering power fc, cusco rear triangle bar, nagisa auto garachi fender braces, custom manifold with tial wastegate, custom 4 in. downpipe, ST sway bars, tein drift spec coilovers, feed front strut bar, RE Amemiya 55mm boost gauge, and more to come but too tired to type. oh and a Sexy Style dash cluster...only cuz not too many people have it.

Rx7, doesn't need a whole lot, just some more suspension work and basic engine stuff.
The 53 Bel Air has sat in a field for many years, my great-grandpa bought it new. It needs everything.... and then some.
off-road beater project; 92 GMC Jimmy, freshly rattle-canned. Needs suspension redone front and rear, it's way too stiff and doesn't allow for any articulation. But it's cheap, has 33's, and a welded rear diff!
