The thing is...Sarasota traffic is killing the Rolla. I granny it and all, but in traffic it just cant take the retarded people. Flat out, it just needs more oomph, and sooner or later it'll have forced induction. Since I cant fix and mix, I'll just be selling my spare block then.
As for the Poopra...even to get it running, it'll take quite a bit of money, and this is supposed to be an "ultimate street car" so I'm not going to skimp out [/u]anywhere.[/u] To get it running, its either a TiAL or 1G DSM BOV; my GReddy Type S has to go. It'll need a new cam position sensor, power steering rack, and O2 sensor...just to get it running. Its also going to need a complete new exhaust from the downpipe back, brake fluid, valve adjustment, radiator flush, MegaSquirt, wideband O2 (Zeitronix package), intercooler, fuel pump, injectors, FFIM, K&N filter, oil filter relocation kit and all sorts of lines...
Whereas with the Corolla, I could swap in a stock GZE, intake and exhaust, and take the injectors, fuel pump, and intercooler all off the Poopra (for free) and leave it like that till the Poopra is running again.
you need to slow down and rethink what you are actually doing. your trying to build a track car for street use. you need to leave one of the cars stock period or your as is gonna end up on the bus. o2 sensor is like $40 at autozone, rack and pinion can be got at a boneyard, cps can be had on ebay for less then $20, greddy type s bov's work fine if you have them adjusted right(a 1g dsm bov is just a total pos that will stay open the entire time your at idle and if crushed wont open very much, and is a small valve anyway). stock ecu works fine unless your building a race car, wideband o2 isnt needed either unless your trying to build a race car, ffim, k&n, oil relocation, etc.. arnt needed to get the car running. you could have it running for less then $100, but you dont want to. you cant build 3 cars at once. you can only effectivly build 1 car at a time. otherwise none of them will ever be finished.
