Another TII Question
Well, I did some # crunching, and it looks like I will have at least $5k by the end of summer for a TII. My question: should I get a S5 w/ a blown engine for cheap, and swap in a new engine, or should I get a S4 for cheaper, and swap in a S5 J-Spec w/ sp? Or a fully running S5 TII? I could ahve up to like $7k to play with, so I need to start planning....

hmmm...
Get a S5 blown engine
then get a new engine w/ warantee and have it installed by a mechanic so that if anything goes wrong you can claim warantee...that way you can switch out exhaust and get other things working good. Just make sure you don't void the warantee (or at least keep all the stock components just in case you need to put them back on in an emergency =P
But PLEASE break it in nicely at least 1000 miles.

Well, I really don't want to pay a mechanic big bucks to do something I can do in a few days. Also, I really don't want to screw around w/ a warranty, and finally the nearest rotary shops are both 2+ hours away. Plus, I am keeping my N/A, so I will have a daily driver for those days when my TII dosen't want to work!!

Sounds good to me =)
I'd still grab a TII (s5..less electrical gremlins) with a blown engine (if you can find one cheap) and then swap in a new one.
If you can find one that has already been swapped...that would be a good choice too.

That is my best friend Zach, stoned out of his mind. He is trying to make that face that anime characters make when making fun of someone. They usually pull one eye down and stick out their tongue. He is such a dumb ***, I had to use his face as my avatar!!!
