Yeah I was just talking to my buddy Lance and realized I left that out, as well as a wideband and gauges. We're now at 5k+. I'm going to have to sell something haha.

Clutch/flywheel..... 5500.

patience. plus a wideband+gauge, you can guy the MTX-L (~170 with shipping I think). its VERY nice, considering the price, its got the fastest refresh rate and from what I can tell its spot on accurate for my stock tune.

I'm just trying to overestimate everything so no surprises come up. If I don't already have a specific part in mind I'm overshooting it. 5500 is a lot but it's doable by June, and then the car will be ready for the season. I might miss the spring and some of the summer but to get what I want out of it, it's worth it in my opinion.

Partouts can be great but generally getting a whole car on a cash deal is the best deal IMO.

Car looks better dropped.

If we were closer I'd swap interiors with you.

Looks like you are a year ahead of me on your DIY Turbo. I gotta follow this. Personally, while it sucks having the ODBII, I like the looks of the NB the most. That's why I got my 00.
