When I buy a part for a few hundred I worry about paying the bills, you're hardcore, nice buy.

If I didn't know you were sarcastic I'd kill you over the internet:giggle:

Dude was smoking in the car while making the video, you should make him take a $100 off the price! Looks very unassuming, someone pulls up next to you with their stereo loud they would have no idea what its got.

WOW JUST WOW!!. That's and awesome price man, congrats. Post burn out vid asap or ban.

I think that car has so much potential w/o removing stuff and making it race-car-like/light, that there's no reason to keep your turbo car. The v8 will give you all the power you need to keep the DD comforts. Have you seen the LS conversion for E36 (M3)? :D

Well I am going to keep the turbo car as the daily driver, and set this one up as a dedicated track car. I want to do things, like put a full cage in it, big splitter, rear wing, etc. that will make it a not very good DD. Plus no a/c in South Texas really sucks.

I have a buddy with an older M3 that knows ALL about that LS conversion. He WANTS one.

Wife took it well BTW :bigtu:

Outstanding find!

Gotpsi? 08-30-2009 07:35 PM

Awesome, also deliverator your avatar is awesome

RotorNutFD3S 08-30-2009 08:06 PM

Congrats on an awesome deal and your wife taking it well! Although she'll probably find a way to use it against you down the road. lol

cueball1 08-31-2009 01:39 PM

Good job. Hope the car is flawless for you and well sorted. Buying another persons project is certainly the budget way to go.

With suspension, brakes, aero, interior you do realize you will dump another 5K into it right?!? I'm sure the wife will understand....

hustler 08-31-2009 01:52 PM

in for aero.

Sweet car man. I have a friend that just sold his a few months back. Sick car. His put 450 to the wheels. Check it out.

YOU LUCKY SOB ... I ENVY YOU SO FUCKING MUCH...:crx:


Post videos and pictures

This deal reminds me of all the LS RX7 swaps up for sale - but at half the price! ;) and I thought a $20k LS swapped FD was a great deal...

Nice car. How much did he get for it?

gospeed81 08-31-2009 03:26 PM

Wow Tex! I'm smiling the whole way through this thread.

You've got to feel good about that one!

I don't blame you one bit. I'm thinking about doing one myself...buying all the parts one at a time. Rear end for b-day...swap kit for Christmas etc...

That price for a finished one = fun now - year of downtime - head ache + $10K in pocket.

Can't beat it with a big stick or 99% of what's on the road.

NA6C-Guy 08-31-2009 03:26 PM

Not for $12k I would guess! :vash:
