I could even save money and just buy a front clip with the manual parts. Who knows though, I'd have to talk to some people about that.

That be a good idea, then you get all the front aero and you could use the turbo bits + have a spare motor for building down the road.

But then it would just be a sedan with a turbo, and thats not including all the other turbo BS stuff you will need.

Still would need coils, aero, wheels, etc etc.

I'm guess this will take around 30k or so. Not too bad, I have about 20 into my 240 and I haven't swapped the motor yet.

WUT? Maybe over an extended period.

Turbo kit: $2500
Coils: $2000 (BWS stuffs I'm sure)
Wheels: $2000 (I have no idea)
Additional Suspension bits: $1000 (at most, that's a lot of stuff)

Body stuff wouldn't happen this year unless it's needed to fit wheels, so no aero.

Wouldn't swap turbo parts from the GTTE to the GE. I'd be going big single either way.


Know of any reputable dealers for front clips?

What makes you want a GS Justin?

What makes you want a GS Justin?

Exactly. So a "big" 4 door car that doesn't make me look like a boy racer but still has the same get up and go as the boy racers.

I really just want something fun to drive, quick and has a good sized aftermarket. Would prefer turbo'd as well.

I'm still taking recommendations though.

Don't buy an Evo then.

I know this. STi and Evo's were both out of the question.

What is this 2500 kit you're talking about?
Thats cheaper than godspeed shit and thats scary.

Don't forget all the shit you're going to have to do to make it work that don't come with the "kit".
Gauges, fuel, ecu, exhaust, and a tune can run you thousands more depending on what you do.

Good wheels + tires are going to cost alot for that car. Think more like 3-4k.

Ask Jaze about the front clip.

I already have talked to Jaze about all of this.

This kit has come pretty highly recommended by the Supra/NA-T crowd for example.

Emanage blue hacked gold.

Wheels can wait if they are going to be too expensive. Like I said, this isn't going to be done "now" by any means. I'll go as far as I feel is okay for this year and then move on.

Get something big for the wife to daily.
Keep the audi for your daily.
Get a classic JDM car to build.

I don't want to drive the Audi much more. Shit is going to break soon. I can tell. I'm at 105k on the clock.

That seems really cheap, but it makes sense.
I mean its just a turbo, some piping, and some ebay parts.
Still going to need alot more to make a full turbo set up.
Expect to spend 4-5k all said and done.

Remember. This engine is still built very similar to the stock turbo'd engine. The biggest thing the engine itself needs is a headgasket. We will see though. I haven't completely made up my mind. I'm waiting until the money is in my hands. That's why I'm talking about it now.

And yes. I'm pretty sure I wrecked the front swaybar brackets again. Also, the engine is just begging to implode. I need to get it in for a new cam follower. I'm impressed it's lasted this long.
