Looks good, can't wait to see the results

With everything stripped and the car being torn apart, I can't help but get this image in my mind of open heart surgery.. O.O

Oh man this is "the" question. I don't want to answer for TurboSmoke but if he is anything like me (I am finishing my TII swap this weekend) but at this point I just don't want to know cause I would cry.

lets just put it this way the first stage of it is running me 7k and then i still have to do, brake upgrade, turbo upgrade, fmic, halltech, new rims, seats, alarm, and suspention. i figure when its all said and done it will be around 12-14k. give or take a grand.

Now mind you turbosmoke is doing alot of things he doesn't have to to do the swap but he wants his car to be a asylum for his madness just like the rest of us do with our cars.
