if you know what you are doing and know how your engine and turbos work I say go for it! if not you might want to read up on it and do some research before you make such a huge plunge (a lot involved in a stage 5).
Just a thought.

Send some my way if its not a problem, your looking at what 8-10k, if you ask me thats a waste of money, unless you plan on making it a drag only car or something..

I knew when I said $$$$is not a problem you guys would think I was some sort of rich bitch, what I mean is I got the money saved. If my calculations are correct it will cost about 7000 to 7500. and yes I have pretty good knowledge of engines and turbos. Yeah I am wanting a sort of sleeper in a way. I can build my 95 rs complete with body damage and make supras and camaros look bad (hondas arn't a problem already w/stock).

hey, Body damage? well its not so bad that I can't drive it, but the clear is coming off the roof the sunroof dosen't work and dings and dents and deep scratches cover the rest of the body. but not bad for a $3600 dollar car with 88k on the car and 20k on the engine. but why spend money on the body when I can go fast..now! GSX? well lets just say when I walk into the ins. company they get really happy for all the money i'm gonna give em' something to the tune of $1800 a year for liability only.

I'm paying 700 a year for my AWD ;) And it is in perfect shape. 1000 miles less than you have on yours.
