i appreciate all the help, but i'd rather not discuss inspection issues.

you should give us a brief summary of whats going on so i don't have to search through all 274 pages to try to figure out what your saying

pssst...i think i got cavewoman on board for the gt-r.

i've been softening up the battlefield for months. yesterday, i put this pitch in her sweet spot high and tight just like she likes it. she absolutely crushed the ball over the wall and was in such a twightlight moment, she's actually financing the loan on the theory that she might as well make the money on the interest.

the next time at bat is for the interest rate.

Smart move....re-sale will probably be better on the gt-r anyway. Secretly, I am hoping resale sucks so i can afford one in three years, but given the performance of the gt-r, there is a huge market of cats just like me that are hoping the same thing.

So the question is what happens with THIS car if you pursue the GT-R?

having to live with the wretched embarrassment and endlessly trying to explain how it all went wrong... while stuggling to hold my head up?

...good question.

Me too, Bruce. The GT-R will be a temptress. Why not spiff up a 335xi, use it year-round, save a few dinero, and do the Right Thing(tm) with the STi.

[Neanderthal Racing]

here's the tentative plan guys:
- i top off cutn edg with my new element tuning motor and it becomes my dedicated track car. i cop a trailer and i use the cuc v to tow it. there is still a possibility that i'll be able to work out my other issues (you know, the ones we're not talking about)but i doubt it.
- i bag the highest, high performance car i can afford that still makes sense out here in the stix. right now it's the gtr but i've the 335xi and the m3 are under consideration. a vette is out.

[infinitemotors]

My buddy is going from a fully built/sleeved/GT40 STi to..........


M3 also. Perhaps a trend?

Haha good luck either way

Hey Bruce can't wait to see how Phil's block performs. How much power you plaining to put down?

I think you should go with the GT-R. I'm black with the Gold BBS wheels. Have it tuned and be done maybe a intake and a mellow exhaust.
