lol ^^^^

no i shoulda bought this turbo engine i had the chance shipped to my door 525 dollars... instead i spent 275 turbo parts shipped to door, 100 dollars turbo wire harness, like 50 turbo ECU... another 25 turbo dizzy.... and 35 turbo fuel pump... so i kinda didnt really make out on that one... plus i now have to redo my oil pump shaft/dizzy shaft and dizzy the RIGHT way so i can actually time the car properly then it should run MUCH better, but still might have a rich state. then get a new starter and possibly run new power wires for the start position on the ignition since i think mine are now fried.... that or just eliminate it put an inline fuse and just make a push button start... lol.i might as well make everything run on a toggle switch like a race car the rate im going, on toggle for fuel pump, on toggle for ecu when i go stand alone, and a spring toggle for start... screw keys, lol, i could see my car getting stolen though.

well, you could have the toggle hidden, and then keep the keyed ignition switch for a dupe! or even wire an alarm so when someone tries to "hotwire" the wires in the steering column, sirens go off and you got two deafened thieves... :P

haha true^^^ not like hotwiring is hard or anything, ESPECIALLY on the s30 chassis... they might as well not even have keys.

for some reason the old z's go for big dollars here. a nice unrusted s30 goes for no less than 5000, and ive seen some for 12000. those are show cars tho. thats why i dont have a s30!! the s130's are kinda cheap, but they too have prices that are creeping higher. the rust monster raises the value here in canuck land. i figured a flip woulda been my solution for your car snow, run it drive it sell it.
