Roaring Turtle is selling a SOHC Turbo kit for like $1200

Good luck. You have a good base. And with what you're hoping to buy, sounds like it's gonna be a cool little car.

Just don't get Slipstreams. The most played out wheel in the internet world.

Not always true. But good luck man! PM me if you're looking for a Z6. I've got one that I might give up.

hehe LOL, I was rocking my 90 Ford Tempo with a slush box; I don't think they make a slower car, although it did have enough power to navigate itself into a ditch while I was trying to do my best rally driver impresion on a dirt back road
A little off topic, so good luck with your project, hope everything goes smooth (although it never does )

Hahaha, I bout my 92 Si when I was 14. When I turned 15 I had GC coil overs, Tokico Illuminas, WW RS kit (sold now), RS*R Invidia, DC SS, SiR cluster, and some other goodies. I am still 15 now and I now have Vision corners from jhp.com (real), SiR head lights, SiR tail lights, SiR power folding mirrors, SiR climate control, SiR clock, SiR defrost/foglight switch, optional audio console, black Spoon shiftknob, ITR shift boot, ITR front seats, and ITR rear seats. As you can tell I decided to pretty much do the interior first, next is body. Got some Benen fiber on the way.

And yes, I paid for everything myself.

Damn, that's cool!

One reservation I have, though, is almost everyone I know has either wrecked, dinged, banged, or otherwise fucked up their first car. I would be a little bit timid about learning to drive with such a cherry car, especially with one with as much time & money as you have in that one. You haven't considered perhaps getting a POS beater for your daily driver & driving your hatch only on special occasions, have you? I know it sounds crazy, but I'm sure you would really be pissed if something happened to your baby!

Just don't kill yourself or others. You'll have a fast car and no idea how to drive it, so be careful. None of us feel like reading an exerpt from a newspaper article about your death.

Driving like a sane human being is much cooler than being dead.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, my first car--slow-as-**** 82 Toyota Tercel. Going fast wasn't an option.
