First he hates Canadians, and now he's a sucker for one. Then he's all about the turbo honda's, and now he's not.
Next week he'll be going to church and joining the cub scouts.

its a pointless money trap that once you realize what ur doing, its kinda sicken ing to think of all the money you could have had put into lets say a college fund for your little girl.
that 2k you dumped into your block coulda been ---- for your house, ---- for your kid ect. its just not practical.

yeah, 'mad loot' for a turbo set up on a stock engine is going to break, no doubt. i've tuned tons of 'mildly built' cars and never had a problem with ONE. it's when you start trying to make 300+whp on stock internals, so spend the extra cash and do it right, which i did this time. i won't be disappointed, and i know it, so i'm not worried. btw, my house is already pimped as it's gonna get, and i have 50+ in equity, so i'm really not too worried about the house or my kid's well being, trust me

obviously it's not for you, but some people have the extra money to blow with repercussions or jeopardizing predicaments, so that's what we do, it's our hobby and our life and i have no regret or remorse about the money i've spent on my car, because the feeling i get when i drive it is priceless

Re: it won't be long.....................
if you really build an engine good it wont break as bad. you cant just take a stock honda and turbo charge it and expect it to hold. (i should talk) but i know when it breaks that it didnt really owe me much in return cause i never built the engine from the inside out. i blow it i sell everything and start all over. you can hate it today but youll be back in it tomorrow. how much for the car im drunk too hahaha
