I said the EXACT same thing 5 years ago!

again once I built the block, I said eff it!

cant have a fully built block running OEM power levels, thats a waist of money.

haha yeah everyone starts that way but i just dont see the point of pouring so much money into one thing that can be wrecked or whatever.... im not happy about the amount of money i just spent but its been a long time coming and i have no other outlets besides upgrading my house

would rather take a nice vaction or add on to the house..... maybe even buy a car that already had that kind of power and keep "as is"

price paid still under a base 2013 M3

i beat up on every motorcycle except BUSAs, and guess what, they will be next after this go around.

House and upgrades...same thing

Vacation cool and fun but same thing

if we arent investing or compound interest'ing our money isnt it all a waist? lol

I hear ya man, im not being aggressive in my responses (please dont take it that way) im just saying I have less than most TT set ups on a stock block in my car. Lately I have finally said eff it and lets push this thing to the MOON!

I think Im there. Next stop... wider tires and suspension.

I have had 4 motors in my car all under 10K . lol So although it looks expensive, it can be done on a budget.

Im dont with housing, shaddy banks, upgrades that you will never get true ROI on. Just like the car. I built it to race it, so I do. lol.

picked up some wheel sealant Tony when you want to take the rims off and polish the lips and inner barrels lmk and we can put some of that on there too so dust and crap dont stick and its easy to wipe off
