UPDATE 4/2/15

 

Nice project you've got there! Good luck with the build! I'm sure once it's done you won't regret it

 

Nice, keep us posted on your progress...

 

WOW man, that sucks so bad. Having bought a car and in couple hours of ownership, it blows up then, now having to spend a bunch of money again. More power to you and good luck with the build. I'll be following closely

 

Wow I used to drool at that car on the for sale section. Sucks that it blew man but I'm sure you sell get it up n running in no time.

 

this makes me really wanna get some sbc rpf1s

 

I might sell them after I get the voltex on and go 10 or 10.5s.

 

Hey man. Good luck with the build. I'm friends with the previous owner. It sucks to see tht happen but. I assure you that build only had 3k or so on it. I begged him not to sell it and I still tell him he is dumb to do so. I'm excited to see it all voltexd up

 

Update: Car hopefully will be at Force Fed Performance by the end of next week.

 

Subscribed!

Nice, beefy wheels aggressive without getting ugly.

Sorry to read about what happened. Can't wait to see the finished results!

 

Finally! Found a 4g63 evo 9 core. Making a 6 hour trip to North Carolina to Force Fed Performance to hand deliver the block. Stay Tuned.

 

Enjoy the build! Looks like you've got a great base already. Next time I come home, I'll have to meet you in Beckley or something. I'm originally from Lewisburg, WV.

 

That's a great looking car.
Sorry it blew up.
Hope the new build will be better than what was in it.

Let us know if you need anything.

Definitely.

 

thanks. Will do, about to mount the STM rear bumper bar for my JDM bumper.
