Well I'm not running yet. And I have a couple more purchases to make (fans, relocate my battery, run intercooler pipes, do an oil change and I think thats about it for now) until shes runs. and my total is:$4,924.68 (I kept track of most things except the minor nuts and bolts) for the engine/trans/LSD w/axles swap $5,000 for the car (S14 purchased 4 years ago)I feel that I'm doing alright. My car won't be a "stand out" or anything compared to cars in this forum, but around my area, I think it'll hold her own

p.s. I bought my car 4 years ago, but it was running till Aug. '06 when i pulled the KA... This hasn't taken me 4 years haha.

There is no such thing as "done" in most cases.

This project will cost you double what you have planned.. at least.

Too damn much (see photos in sig. file). I think for the money I have in my RB26 swap, suspension, braking, driveline, and accessories, I could have bought a small second house.

Scott,

Are you going to make some money back with that car by getting sponsors and touring it around some car shows, etc.?

No one really pays to play anymore. Unless of course Mt. Dew or Snapple might be in the future. But as of right now, it just wins BIG *** trophies...but all expenses are on me to bring it to shows. At least I can show it for my company.

wow, makes me like the SR and KA-T more now. I know a guy who spent about $19k on his RB25 and he's still just rocking the smic. A 240 with a SR or KA-T and $19k into it. I'm sure will rock the sh*t out of a stock RB
