How is everybody’s projects coming? Mine is right on track as of right now, as long as I don’t run into any more financial hiccups. I will post pics in a few days of the teardown. Just wanted to see where everyone else is so far.

i think in the past day i’ve decided to bail on my project. i have pretty much everything I need for my stroker motor, but dont feel like spending the ~$500 or so I have left to go on misc parts. I would rather drive my dd in the summer, and do trackdays on my motorcycle. I will hopefully get my car together in time to do a few trackdays, but I’m not holding my breath for anything. Bike track days are plenty of fun and will be fine for me.

I have just had such a tough 2 months, i’ve been going through a lot of shit that has really got me down. i’ve been feeling pretty damn shitty, and i don’t know what its gonna take to get things right again.

I just wouldn’t mind selling my motor shit and having 3-4k nest egg for the summer

it sucks when the pile of parts and toys grows in my room, but the weather outside remains too shitty to do any work in.

Not having a garage sucks :tdown:

Same boat brother. Same boat. Plus still have a lot of projects around the house that I need to get done, and I can’t justify the cost of building a sweet motor for my car when all that stuff is still sitting around waiting to get done.
