wellits in good condition i got the car fax and it was stolen in 2007 and thats why it has the salvage title .. car has 107k miles runs real good and has some upgrades on it .. has jim wolf chip . intake, exhaust . hids. new belts . new clutch. and clean leather interior and outside as well.. i really want a twuin turbo so was thinking of swapping in the near future if its worth it

i dont understand why you think it wouldnt be worth it.

if its in such good condition and runs good whats the problem? as far as those upgrades, theres really not much more you can do to it.

judging from your other post, youre not in any kind of position to do a tt swap, if you cant figure out how to tighten a belt you cant do a swap, end of discussion.

sell the na and save for a tt, thats your best bet.

I bought mine stolen as well but it was registered with a regular title.

Most salvage cars are worth considerably less, however that shouldn't stop you from enjoying it as a driver. That's how I got my G35 Coupe. I have no intention of selling her anytime soon, and I traded off another car for it. If you want a Z32 TT, then get one...you will never be happy with the N/A in comparison, and will be wasting your money trying to make it faster...unless you do an engine swap with something else. Either way, it'll cost you...

Don't let the other guys dissuade you from what you really want though...everyone has to learn somehow. The hardest part of working on a Z32 is the lack of clearance around the engine, and the multiple quirks with its design. Nothing that can't be overcome.

im not trying to discourage him from anything.

I just want him to understand you have to have some sort of knowledge before just jumping into working on this type of car.

good luck with it either way.
