ive still got a re-apolstered center consol from a 89 for my next mk3 project!

as well as a few other things,

good luck finding your dash and any interior parts not going to lie when i parted mine out i got pissed off and tore the dash in 2, i can understand how it happens.

sucks because people always try to put a sentimental value on things... its not special just sell it cheap and get over it ,your not PACK RATS!!!!

yeah very true i got mine from a car wholesale lot out of tampa when i called to let them know it was running they got all pissed off because they couldnt figure it out and they were gonna sell it for 1500 if it were running lol good thing i found it when i did im pretty satisfied with it so far it stutters a bit and i dont like the rpm holding while trying to engine break but oh well no smoke decent power for a stocker basically itll spin through 2nd no problem and i like the short clutch throw i cant wait to be able to tell that its actually shifted when i get my bushings in lol but all in all im definately liking it ill stick with it for a while and build the body/ suspension little by little until it blows up then go with the high hp build

My car is a daily driver and 10 to 12 psi on a higher compression GE engine is at the edge of reliability. Actually, I've just had to replace the OEM HG I put on some years ago with a thicker metal HG after the composite finally succumbed to heat. No damage anywhere else but there could have been. No the N/A does not have oil squirters, but then again nether did Toyota's race built MKIII's.... they had forged internals in N/A blocks.

If you want some good examples look here: http://www.gtepowered.com/index.php?...ml/site/7m.php

Your numbers aren't far off, but your cost estimates are miles off IMO. Ask some of the members there what they've spent and you may just weep.

I, and many others, do not believe the 7M to be a decent platform for high power builds unless you like seeing the bank balance drop and love constantly being challenged in ways that keep the car off the road. If you want an easy 800+ drop in a healthy 2JZ-GTE with some bolt on upgrades; doing it on a 7M's going to kill you. Maybe, I'm just growing bitter... but I've got a LOT of company and we've all got reasons.

I'm not going to nitpick this thread or your proposed plans, that wasn't my intent to begin with. Just pointing out that we've heard such bravado before, it ended very poorly and I won't have a repeat...

See guys this is all very interesting to me, Hell I have trouble following what you are arguing about cause all I know how to do is fix stock applications, so I have a huge advantage of not ever being able to even bullshit any of you about anything at anytime. Yawn,.... Such is the magic of being a bore.
I love reading it though if I could just figure out all the abbreviations. I didn't even know what N/A meant till tonight... LOL
