i over paid a little for the car itself which i bought for $1900 with the b16 and about $600 for boosting it... most everything on it is just parts i had laying around from other cars

little update, i tore my engine down a few months ago and found all of my ring lands cracked so i bought some srp pistons and eagles rods. been running good for a few thousand miles so far

also cut my bumper a few months ago because i was over heating and was doing everything i could to get more air into the bay

my hood latch cable also stretched like crazy so i threw on some hood pins because it was cheaper
