I would do the same but am praying I don't have to! Reading your story makes me sick to my stomach!

It's no fun but like I said you guys about to go FI better have some money put back for a rainy day when and if it happens.... Iam thinking with the TT kit, clutch, built motor, tune, etc, etc, etc I think it would be safe to say right around 20k. Still a lot less than a gtr and most other cars that could compete with a boosted z apples to apples...

sorry to hear about this

i do have a short block for sale though if you're interested in building it, shoot me a PM

I spent that without a built motor

I agree with you on the rainy day fund, it's a must especially if the car is your only one and a DD.

BTW, what parts/work would be needed to have a built motor?

I sent sam from gtm an email about a built long block since their web page says they have a few in stock but there's no telling when I may or may not hear anything back. Should have just bit the bullet and bought a gtr from the get go... !@#$%^&*()

Unless you plan on the build taking months longer than you plan, don't let GTM handle the motor build.

Who else would you recommend chuck for a built long block then? I am ready to get the ball rolling on this...

Chuck33079 · 11-21-2013, 06:52 AM

Personally, I'd buy all the parts and take it to someone local to you that's good assuming you can handle pulling the motor yourself.

Since my engine loss I cant stop listening to this:

MTI here in GA is great. Most shops send there work there.

COSMO · 11-21-2013, 08:36 AM

Have never heard of them but I am hoping to hear something back from john at z1 and maybe even sam from gtm. Also need a cheery picker and engine stand. Man this is bringing back memories....

COSMO · 11-21-2013, 08:42 AM

You would think some of these company's who make TT kits for our cars would have some built motors ready to go when someone pops a motor.... Hell what do I know..

The poeple who make the TT kits can't even get their TT kits out the door.
