damn, what have u spent with 20k??? a rebuild n what not,
cuz i came up with 14k without labor, well, labor would consist of mt dew n some good old moms azn cooking, but the 14k had consisted of a turbo upgrade, street port, full exhaust, bov, wastegat, headers, all of the electrical stuff, wires, fmic, n lots of other stuff!!!!
well, if you could put in a 13bre then that adds what 1.5k n less????
just wondering so i can start saving up!!

$4250 - '89 Red GTU, automatic, 56k original miles
I've only spent about $1400... Apex'i N1 Dual exhaust, 16x7 Rota GT3's, 205/55/16 Michelin Pilot HX MXM4, H4 headlight conversion with TYC housings and Silverstar Sylvania bulbs, and $30 on sand paper, gloss black paint and clear cloat to custom paint my stock wheels (just for fun project).
Full suspension and JSpec engine and tranny are coming some time soon.
