Im finnally registered! Im looking forward to chatting with all of you and learning ways to go faster.

I live in milwaukee wisconsin, where the impot scene is 90% ricers. I've had my 96 Negaro blue pearl (s4 color)since 99 and have slowly upgraded many things. Most recently an s13 blacktop this past spring, installed by a supposedly reputable company in MN. I was not 100% happy with the swap, (if anyone wants to hear my horror story, ask) so Iam taking it out and rewiring the rat's nest that is in my car.

The car had some bugs but most of them have been eliminated.

My mods include......

T28 with hks internals (or so I was told, LONG STORY)Blitz, FM IC, 3" downpipe, LM air filter,and plugs5zigen cat back Test pipedual fansBlitz dual sbc, and TTApex S-afcWalboro fuel pumpMoroso batt relocateEtc..Etc..Etc....

I tried installing z32 maf but car ran awful. Iam having ecu reprogramed to help smooth it out. Injetors,ras,head gasket, J30 rear end(1 wheel wonder currently) to follow.

All that being said.......

Ive taken to much space already.Promise to be short and sweet from now on.I will post some pictures when I can figure out my 2 day old computer. My first one.

All I can say is, do not have someone do your install that is 350mi away.

P.S. One of the faults I found after picking car up from swap shop(just to give u an idea).......No thermostat!!!!

the way i see it, don't have a shop install your motor in the first place unless you absolutely know you are not getting screwed!

Hindsight is always 20/20.

There is no way to know 110% you are not being screwed one way or the other when it comes to having work on your car done.

Unless you form a close customer/ owner relationship over time.

I wanted a swap in spring and they were (supposedly at the time) my closest and best option.
