local Pittsburgh Meet
if anyone is interested my friend's band is playing at a bar by my house that night as well. it's going to be some acoustic and some electric i believe. a broad, broad range of music types. last show of his i saw they played 4 separate sets of near 60 songs total.
cheap booze and great music. can't beat it.
-edit- additionally there is an autocross in north park the next day. i will most likely be there, hung over as f*ck.
I think more people know than what you think they know....
Just going by what you posted before....so I should say $32k build +/- a few hundred

(For me its to get them bushings dialed in - nice and tight)
Honestly its the best place to get a car dialed in. Not like im a flaming homo PRP....that place is a joke. I am planning on heading there for a day this fall to run my car - hoping that front motor mount really paid off!
So if people are interested we can get a group and head there for the day - leave at 6am, be back around 7 that evening. I suggest to anyone get AAA so you can get a free tow back to p.burgh if needed, it never hurts to be cautious!
Its not done yet. (but its running) Still dont have my rear axels/tcase/tranny built yet. pretty much the rest of the build is there though.... got rid of a few things, got a few others..
For instance, i got a smaller battery, but not the AMS one, or the fuel system is now an AMS one rather than a buschur one, or the Koyo rad that had NO WAY in hell of fitting in the car with the turbo now
it was a sellers point. I had planned to put the car for sale when it was done. Not anymore, so why would i post what i paid for everything, would rather post retail for EVERYTHING in case someone went through my previous posts. in which your case.. you did...
I can tell you this much, i might be lucky if i have 1/4 of that invested. Whats it matter anyways, I was ASKED to post up what i had, and for personal reference that was the only list i had, and was not going to spend 20 minutes taking $??.?? out of each one..
Soo before you get all upset over some numbers that don't mean anything think about the context behind them. It was never to brag, it was my personal reference that someone asked to see.
You asked so you shall receive
3 hrs is nothing for a ****ing awesome track day.......you run from 10am till like 4pm for 30.00 and a guarantee you will be so sick of running your car that you will want to leave at like 1.....were talking a wad of time slips and no long stage waits, great place to get the cur running good and tuned up as you go.

So when is your trans and tc coming back from shep? and how are you getting tuned Friday with no trans, tc, axles, etc?
Oh im not upset.....and numbers don't mean much to me at all, inflated or not. You have said you had $30k under the hood so I consider it your $30k build - its your words not mine, no matter what the fine print entailed.
