oooo.....i like the name of this thread...

started out as an all matching y7, after spinning a rod bearing, swapped in a y8 w/ matching tran's, timing was off so it melted the #2 piston and cracked the block a couple of time's...rebuilt the og y7 (new main/rod bearing's, new ring's, only thing i didnt do was turn the crank and have it bored)

bought the car a little modified (drop, 99 si front, exterior mod's and the battery relocation)
day i bought it...





a LOT of work later...






mod list so far
10 miles on a rebuilt y7 block
10 miles on a rebuilt y8 head
k4f trans (96 ex)
b&m ss w/ gsr shift ****
y8 harness, im, tb
stock intake lol
random coilover's
99 si front
00 si wheel's on 205/50/15's
purple bay and a half *** tuck
type r rear lip
95 accord rear lip on the front
ex brakes up front, integra disc's in the back

thats all i can think of off the top of my head, only had the car about 6 month's...put a lot of wrenching and sweat into this car...and its just the dd so no real big plan's...ive got a "hotrod' dont need two...

but being able to wipe the smile's off of mustang owner's face's with your low riding *** is pretty cool too though lol....

I would make sure nothing is wrong with the car like bushings, balljoints and brakes and regular maintenence before i would swap a motor.


Took the hatch to the carwash to shampoo and vacum the interior and today i found the parts i need to replace the broken pieces to my wheels for the one busted centercap.

It's not what should you do, it's what do YOU wanna do?

Do you wanna be fast or reliable?
