Looking to possibly trade my one of a kind FC RX7 for LS FD, C6 Vette or something else. Took 2 years to build and finally almost completed. The car is located in Los Angeles, CA. There has been so many things done to this car not sure where to start. Still some little things on the car that needs to be addressed like wiring the boost controller, wiring headlights/ taillights, calibrating the racepak, bleeding the brakes, setting the idle, and wiring the fans. The car starts up no problem and recently went on the dyno. Made 344WHP on 91 octane with 8LBs (wastegate was not working correctly since not wired to boost controller). The car is mainly a track car but can be street driven as it does have a Cali title. It's been a long journey building this thing but the things I want have changed and it's time to move onto something else. Email me at yufengcorse gmail dot com with what you got and I'll get back to you even if it's a no. I know what my cars worth so please don't offer me anything that does not make sense.

I'm not sending pictures unless you have something to offer. There are some pictures of it online if you want to do some digging. thank you.

^ then fuck off. that's not how things work around here.

^ then fuck off. that's not how things work around here.
I didn't post this to show everyone my car. I want someone with something to offer me. Last time I posted pictures too many people got jealous. Do some research if you really want to see it. Plenty of pictures floating around and a dyno video. I'm sorry I make you want to see my car so bad you have to use foul language. You have a very nice FC if that makes you feel any better.
-
Here we go with this crap again. I knew this car would never get done..
You won't post pictures because the car is a half assed, half finished POS.
Let me see if I have this straight:
You want to trade a half finished, half assed, 2jz (of unknown condition) swapped FC (again of unknown condition) with a pile of drifter's wet dream parts for it. The parts were not installed correctly or at all. The car starts but doesn't run, and if someone smarter than the people you paid to build the car could figure out how to wire it, maybe it would drive a few feet before you realized the engine and trans we both bad.
And I'm sure you want to trade all of that for what a c6z06 right?
You have about $9-$10k worth of crap there on the high side. Probably less if anyone got a look at it.
-
Some pictures would help
-
Post some prices and pics or politely fuck off. Read the rules next time.
Sincerely,
The Management

hahahahahaah hall of fame thread coming......

[/quote]Last time I posted pictures too many people got jealous. [/quote]
i really really reeaaaallllyyyy doubt you're going to have that problem here.
-
Anyone leading their post with dollar signs is not off to an auspicious beginning. ;)
-
Also it appears all the threads on the club of this goat rodeo build have been deleted.
-
^^ Thats probably because even everyone on 'da club knows what a POS this thing is.
Hes just trying to get out of it and hype it up with drift tax etc etc but knows he cant get rid of it to a group of people that know it, so hes trying here because he thinks we will be impressed that its a non-functional 2JZ FC. Whoopdeefriggindoooo.
OP - Just because a car has a lot of decent *parts* does not make it a decent car. Build quality, attention to detail, overall purpose of completed project, they all make a built car what it is.
As was noted before, I sincerely doubt anyone will be "ub3r j3al0us" of your FC. On the dyno no fans, no wastegate etc, why was it on the dyno then? What was the point?
How about this:
I have a 93 touring FD.
ls1, lots of name brand parts.
How about a possible trade + cash on your end.
You want any information, go look it up because Im too damn lazy to just give it to you.
How was that? Now can we get pics?
-
:popcorn:
-
Why would ppl get jealous ::)
-
I've got a 1.8 Miata to trade.
-
I'll trade you for the stock suspension from my Mustang. And a ham sandwich, I need a 2JZ, so that works. You can keep the chassis.
-
Here yah go guys. Your comments are very entertaining so I'm curious to see what you guys have to say now that you got what you wanted. :D

Like I said, its worth about $9-$10K. Fully sorted FC swaps that make more power than yours go for low/mid teens. Yours admittedly is not done, not wired, not tuned, and is basically a track car. Each of those items is about -$1k each right off the top.
Best case scenario is it made 345 HP because the people that built it didn't have the right parts or didn't know what they were doing. Worst case is the engine is trash.
FCs are not worth much, the chassis is worth basically nothing. If you want to get money out of it, part it out.
If you want to sell the lot for $9k, PM me, I have cash and a trailer and am local.

I feel.......jealous, why did you have to post those pics? Nice car btw!

the that guy pressure washing the turbo through the hole in the hood???

Miata for trade is off the table - the license plate isn't attached...

Come down to LTMW and tell them your going to buy my car for 9k picked up. Let me know what they say! Please don't post ignorant stuff like this when you don't know what your talking about and don't have the money to purchase the car. You were the original guy who asked for photos and yet you have nothing to offer me worth my time. Proves my point that pictures were pointless. You basically just talked smack on everyone who has touched that car. WOW!

Sign the title, leave it with them, and I'll go down there and give them the money and haul it away.
Just because your parents spent $40K (or whatever ridiculous amount) on parts and labor to build a non running and driving car that you no longer want, does not mean it is worth anywhere near that. The car is worth what someone is willing to pay, not the sum of the receipts. I have not talked smack on anyone but the person swiping the credit card.
Find someone willing to give you more than $9k for it and sell it to them then. You still have not posted a price or what you think the car is worth, so you are really wasting your own time.

I'm gonna start arguing with you now because you amuse me. Open your eyes and look at the title of the thread. Did it say for sale? NOPE. Why are you offering me cash then? And yes it is worth what I spent on it because last time I checked, I am the owner of the car so I can say it's worth however much I want for it. You don't go to a dealership to buy a 300,000 dollar car and offer 100,000. They will tell you politely to fuck off just as I am doing to you. Stop talking trash on my car. I'm sorry I have money to burn and you don't. I'm a nice guy until you start being an asshole for no reason. Prime example is my build thread. "Water injection BRO". Who says that shit? You sound younger than me! I told you guys politely I don't want to post photos and you guys start talking crap about my car. Hey but I guess thats the joy of a forum. People behind their computers with a lot to say until they see you in person. I should just bring this car to seven stock just to piss off people like you. And yes, my car does drive as I have driven it around twice already. I'm not just targeting you. This is for all the people who can't keep their mouth shut and mind their own business.

Well you aren't a car dealership, this is not a complete car, and you refuse to put ANY monetary value on it as a place to start. So you are not going to get very far with a half ass story and 4 pictures of the car getting washed. What do you want to trade the car for? That might be a good place to start.
Please bring it to 7stock, sign up for the track day and let's see what kind of track car you have there. I don't know how you bringing a car that makes 345 to the wheels will piss me off, but go ahead. I'll bring my FC and we can see whats what on the track.
And incidentally you posted here dipshit, so don't cry about people minding their own business when you post a thread to trade your car and say "hunt for the pictures of the car on your own".

It is a simple question and you have NOT been very clear..what do you want in trade for the car???
Look it up, 7stock event info is available on the internet.
As far as the "completness" of my car.. my lights work, my car idles, my brakes work, the fans work great, and I have 0 boost control and wastegate issues.

It's in my original post once again. It's like the first thing I said hahahaha. I want a c6 vette or a LS FD.
Dude! it's a one day job haha. I can go do it right now. You know there is nothing wrong with my car so you have to pick at these little things.
-
It's in my original post once again. It's like the first thing I said hahahaha. I want a c6 vette or a LS FD.
C'mon man, you must be being obtuse for show.
There are $40K c6 vettes and $20K c6 vettes... There are $15K swapped FD and $40K swapped FDs... Your car is not worth the low end of either of those, but what is the value you are looking to get out of it??
-

Again, you must be playing dumb. I know you are 17 or whatever but I'd expect to see a little more effort.
If its a one day job pay the guys at the shop a day labor to fix it all and command the most in trade possible.

what do you value the car at @SlowFC ?

and there are $60k swap FC but I'd never ask for that. Why do you care? You don't even have anything I would want. I said email me what you got not come bug me on the forum. Stop talking trash about other peoples cars and go make your own car better.
-
what do you value the car at @SlowFC ?
To me, what I value it at would always be what I put into it. That's why I just want to trade for something because I would be able to take anything within reason instead on putting a number on it. I'm looking for something on the same perfomance level.

So what are you asking for then? I care because the rules of this forum say POST A PRICE, not email the 17 year old high school kid for more information.
That and I'm hoping for a laugh... :yay:
And to correct you, yes there are people that have $60K into their FC swaps.. and they are worth 1/3 of that on a good day. But those cars are fully sorted and run and drive.

What you put in does not equal what you get out. Welcome to race car building.
Your car made 344 WHP and appears to be a gutted track car.. what performance level are you trying to define here?

Notice how this whole time I have never tried to continue insulting you. Mind your own business and make your car better instead of talking trash about other peoples cars. If you have a lot to say bring your car out on the track and then I might respect you.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not really in need of your respect.
I'm simply trying to get information about what you perceive the value of your car to be. I am ready to help you reset your expectations when you actually come out with a value. You should be thanking me.

Is there a price listed? It's required by the rules.
I would bet that car could pull low-mid teens well sorted. Mine pulled 17.5k parted and probably could have pulled a touch more sold together. It's a nice car, but your attitude is pretty silly. You've got no name here and we know more about these cars and swaps than you, so arguing won't really get you anywhere other than mocked until you leave. Adjust your attitude or leave. Either one is fine, you're not exactly a contributing member.

Wtf does this mean?
1998 toyota supra 2JV VVTI (internal good for 800hp and bottom end for over 1000
Don't even come in here unless you have a c6 of unknown value and condition to trade.

I thought my $9k was a decent offer all things considered. He could have had the cash in his hot little hands by now.

well my attitude is obviously wrong so go ahead and remove the thread please. I just wanted to trade my car but people who has nothing to even do with what I want have a problem. Looks like the same people from RX7 club are here. Exact reason I took down my build thread. I don't talk shit to no one and yet everyone else talks shit about my car and here comes this admin claiming to know more about my own car than I do. I already got offered half the price of the car for the power plant plus some drivetrain which i refused so obviously I know more about how much it's worth than most of you do. You guys would probably think the same thing about an exotic. Why would I pay 400,000 for a something thats slower than my RX7. Guess what, that's how much they want for it and you can't do shit about it.

What price were you offered?? I'll even do the simple maths to help you! Just post a damn price!
In any event I'm glad you feel better about yourself. You should have taken that offer and ran. I still have $9k for you right here little buddy.

Why would I hide. I don't care what you guys say on this forum. Your cars are probably your life. I could car less if my FC burned to the ground tomorrow so the only one getting fucked is yourself. Truth in the real world is no one cares about some loser sitting behind his computer talking about cars. I have never once had someone come up to my face and tell me anything bad about my car or myself. Only compliments :D If your playground is behind a computer, that's pretty sad. You guys have made my FC famous. I have you guys to thank. I've had people come and be like oh yeah your the guy with the 2jz fc that got everyone on RX7 club to have a trip. Sometimes the less fortunate just can't take it when a 17 year old put 60k into a 1000 dollar piece of shit. This is like throwback to Apexspeed a month ago lol. All people do on VBulletin is talk shit (excluding some nice people out there). Have a nice day everyone.

First off, my kudo's for generally not losing your *ish with all the negativity in this thread... That generally says there's hope for you so we'll start with that.
Second, you should know who some of the guys you're talking to are and then evaluate whether there is merit to their criticisms.
- LargeOrangeFont is one of the most die hard track day hounds I know. He's also bought and sold a metric ton of everything from just about every other track day hound I know so he has a very good handle on what "the market is willing to bear". The offer to test against him on track is legit but unless your car is REALLY REALLY sorted, you're going to lose (simple matter of bringing a knife to a gun fight). LOF is also doing just fine for himself and so I'm confident the offer to buy is also legit. Assuming you're anywhere near Lucky 7 I'm sure he could be picking it up the same day an agreement is reached.
- DigitalSolo does know more about cars than 99.99% of the population. I don't even know how many swaps he's had a hand in at this point but best guess it's somewhere in the 30+ range. He also comes from a racing family and has spun wrenches on more than a few top fuel rigs. Solo founded this forum and so he is "the management". The management does not put up with ass-hattery, so treading lightly and using full sentences is recommended. Thank the good Lord, you're not writing in all caps. (See another positive notch in your belt. Now we're getting somewhere!)
Third, we're a pretty free thinking lot who tend to prefer things that are made rather than bought, which is the whole reason we're into engine swaps rather than just playing with what the factory sold. Folks who are willing to MAKE something and spend time/research, sweat, and dollars to make it into a reality tend to get the most respect. I suspect there's a sentiment that as a young guy who's paying others to do the work (and paying a lot by the look of it), that A) you haven't paid your dues in either sweat or research (reflected by making poor decisions in the build process), B) you're selling/trading this off because you're too lazy to finish what you started, and C) there's certainly some jealously regarding your bankroll as well. That explains a portion of the vitriol leveled in your direction, but there are legitimate criticisms as well. How are we supposed to respect a "car guy" who's so indifferent to cars that you "couldn't care less if your car burned to the ground?"
We're also a performance oriented lot, so spending big money to not go fast comes across as wasteful at best and just dumb at worst. Sure you could finish your car in gold leaf but you'd get laughed at for that too. I personally think it's a bit sad to see the magnitude of dollars you've spent (assuming 60k is real number) and not to have gotten to the payoff at the end of the tunnel. If all you've ever done is been handed life on a silver platter how will you ever learn to follow through on anything that counts later in life?
Finally, things are worth only what someone else is willing to pay for them, not what you spent. This is basic economics. You can ask a high price all day long and if it never sells, then it wasn't worth what you were asking. Very few FC's will ever sell north of $15k, because they often are perceived as shit boxes (some of them deservingly so). Very few v8 swapped FD's ever sell for less than $15k because they're somewhat rare and beautiful. That makes your trade inherently challenging. You got off on the wrong foot with the $$$ signs in the title and lack of pictures/pricing while coming across with a tone that was borderline baggart. Obviously, some folks have some history with your posting previously at RX7club. All of that is probably recoverable with an apology and a bit of crow to eat. That said, if you're consistently running into challenges with folks, you might consider whether you carry some share of the blame. 0.02

In the real world no one cares if you spent $60k on an FC.. It's worth about $10k.
I'm glad you recognize that this happens to you EVERYWHERE you go.. It is the world that is full of idiots and you are the only smart one, right? That must be why you have to delete your build threads everywhere where you post about the car. The car is so great no one can handle it.
The only people smiling are all the people you paid money to. They will tell you how great you are and how awesome the car is sitting in their shop, not finished or driving. They will happily take another $60k from your parents to built yet another life size model car for you to sit in and make engine noises.

Joel, you're way too nice to this guy and entirely too complimentary of me, LOL. You're probably about right on builds though, I think it's somewhere between 30-40 swaps now, haha.
Honestly, I'd try to be nicer, but people like this guy are just too much fun to push buttons on and it's been a stressful couple weeks at work, so why not, right? Plus, we haven't had a good new-guy bashing in a while, and I would hate for us to lose our reputation here. :D

Thank you for your words.
To address LargeOrangeFont: I'm not going to sell the car for 9k period and also a track day challenge is pointless. I have nothing to prove what is there is there however if he wants to aggravate me and challenge me on a track day just so I can show him how to drive a car, I have no problem with that. You won't be racing against no track day enthusiast.
To address DigitalSolo: I don't care if he's the management. Talking smack to me does not mean I'm not gonna talk back to him. He should be telling all these other guys to shut up because I did absolutely nothing but put my car up for trade. If you don't like it or I violated the rules, remove the thread.
Joel,
I think you deal with many customers who like to turn their own wrenches and be proactive with their own builds. I however don't really enjoy the wrenching part and just want to drive the thing. I just realized I actually need to invest more money by handing my builds to shops who do everything from start to finish. I am actually taking this car completely apart at the end of this month and doing a rotisserie build if no one wants to trade. The way I approach this build is the same way the guys who own the UGR lambos, Sp engineering GTR's, Titan motorsports supras, Heffner lambos and so on. I have the money to do it so why not? I had the chance to speak extensively to Jay at real st performance and Sean at titan performance and I can guarantee you everyone of those crazy cars are built by the shop, not the customer. I've been racing since I was 12 and I have never met anyone *except on the forums* who would rather turn their own wrench than have a shop work on their cars. I travel 8 month out of the year so I don't have the time or energy to deal with a car I am building just for fun. Every one has their own opinion on how a car should be built and mine just happens to be the same as the exotics crowd.
My RX7 is an object that could be replaced with money and I don't lack that money either. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten involved in crash on track and what do we do? We fix it or worst case we have to build a new car. The RX7 is no different. 60K is not even that much to build a car. Go look at how much some guys building RWB porsches, liberty walk cars, 2000HP exotics are spending. They are willing to pay the price for what they want. Add up my parts list and you'll see I didn't even spend that much for what it is. If I owned a Bugatti, my opinion would be the same. It just has to get me from point A to point B.
I don't put a number on my car because it's worth as much as I want it to be worth in my mind. I know how this modified car stuff works and how these things depreciate so I only asked for a trade. I didn't say anything more than a "c6 vette" or a "LS FD" because I am willing to entertain anything that gets thrown my way and worst thing I can say is no thank.
The reason I don't want to post photos or give too much info is the same as the guys who own Nissan Skylines. I once got some advice from Sean Morris (Motorex). If you want to own a nice Japanese car and not worry about it getting stolen, be low profile about it. You have no idea how many of these drift cars get stolen. LOL even some of the Formula Drift cars get stolen. Some people just can't take it when you have nice things and they don't. Last thing I need is for someone to come to the shop which it is stored at and steal it. After all it is a race car (keyless).

That wouldn't be any fun, and you're here for our entertainment value. Dance monkey, dance!

I didn't know Christmas would come so early this year. :yay:
So if money is not object, and you are going to strip the car and redo everything on it, (that is complete BS by the way, if you strip this thing, you are gonna sell the parts, you know that and we know that) what is wrong with it as it sits now? You parents paid good money to get the car completed right? Are you (they) dissatisfied with the work that was done?
-
the offer of 9k is being generous. Car probably IS wired like shit and doesn't even run. People fucking suck at wiring 2jz's. Doesn't surprise me he's trying to get rid of it after swapping a 2jz into it.
-
I have yet to see any FC sell for over $20K. The market for an FC is tiny... and those that want it... don't have any $.
That is a great looking car.... but do yourself a favor and part that out and learn your lesson not to start with a car that has a KBB value of $500.
The w160 trans is worth $4K or more alone! I didn't know there were V161's until I looked at wikipedia!
I had an FC in 1998 with a turbo V6 inside that ran mid 11's... and it still wasn't worth sh*t!
-
The troll is strong... or parents are going to overnight the car to HAAS F1 so that they can rebuild.
Did you just pick up a Super Street magazine and claim to know all the shop owners?
Every one has their own opinion on how a car should be built and mine just happens to be the same as the exotics crowd.
Then have your parents buy a Koenigsegg. #shamelessAmerica

i dont get acting like you are better than a child and saying shit like this car is only worth 9k...
on the other end, fuck anyone that says they wouldnt post pics cause it makes people jealous and to go search for them online in a for sale thread that isnt really a for sale thread.
if this is running right it could fetch $15-20k but probably the former because most people with the actual money wont spend more than that

Tell me how it is not worth $9-10k as an incomplete track car if it is worth $15K running? If it was so little work to get it up and running .. wouldn't it be up an running and making more than 344WHP?. He clearly said he is willing to just throw money at the problem so why haven't the problems gone away? In the end it is worth what someone is willing to pay. I was working from home today and about an hour away with nothing else to do.. and it was worth $9K to me. If he would have bit the car would be half apart by now.
This is an issue of communication and representing whatever this car is honestly. The car looks nice from the 4 vague pictures and the parts list.. but something is not adding up, and he refuses to offer up any additional information about what he thinks the car is worth or what has been done and not done to it. That along with the "Don't you know who I am?" attitude just brings this to mind:

Enough with the child abuse folks. Some of you here are much much older than him and frankly I think this should be taken as an opportunity to teach the kid. I'm new to this website as well and this thread finally tipped me off to sign up. @SlowFC I think you should reconsider how you are spending your money mate. If you really have as much money as you make it out to be, either you should take the proper time to finish your car before coming here and embarrassing yourself, or go get yourself an f-car or a GTR like all the other rich kids. IMO, you should spend some time driving the car first before selling it, but that's your call. I know how much labour goes into building a car of that pedigree and come on, 9K is offensive. A lot of 2Js + V161 combo is already that much. Also, some of you are apparently upset that he did not build this car himself. Personally I'd much rather trust a shop to carry out this swap than a DIY'er, especially a 17 year old for god's sake. Regarding the trade, I currently have a few cars you might be interested in. I am beginning my hunt for swapped 7s and if you can prove your car is worth my time, We'll have a chat.
Cheers,
John.

No doubt in my mind that is true. I would feel the same way if that was my FC.

Well I tried, you seem to have missed my comment regarding full sentences though...
... so treading lightly and using full sentences is recommended.
... You won't be racing against no track day enthusiast.
FWIW, my favorite approach to teaching kids responsibility and ethics about cars is by making their first vehicle a fixer upper. Parentals buy a non-running car and the Junior has to figure out what it needs. Mom and Pop can fund the parts needed and can help but little Johnny has to fix it. Just seems like it makes folks care about what they made when they had to earn it vs. just being given it. That in turn, makes Skippy a little less likely to wrap it around a tree, or help him or her care if it burned to the ground. <-- (That's still such an amazingly offensive comment for any car guy I kinda can't get over it.)

Tell me how it is not worth $9-10k as an incomplete track car if it is worth $15K running?
you said 9k, i said 15-20k running right.
you dont see any values that fall in between those amounts if it wasnt running?
i can quickly add up over 9k in used parts even if the block had a hole in it and not counting the actual chassis

I'd be looking to advance the parts and make money. Based on the description with the admitted problems, the low power it made, and the "gotcha" factor of all the other problems the seller is not admitting or does not know about, I'm being a realist and assuming something major is wrong. My offer reflected that.
By his own admission he does not wrench on cars, so he has no idea what's going on with it, and can't give a straight answer about anything.

They aren't shit boxes, they just aren't worth anything... I love mine, and love embarrassing guys with cars that cost 10X what mine cost to build.

FC's are still rad... Don't listen to a spoiled brat who knows nothing about the rewards of hard work and wrenching yourself and lacks a basic understanding of the concept of time and money.

Car is being parted as we speak. You guys crack me up. Trying to flame a rich kid on a low end car forum. I'm the 1% of the population that gets to wipe my ass with 100 dollar bills all day everyday. Instead of you guys wining about how I spend money like theres no tomorrow, elevate yourself, make more money, and be productive with your life. Get a girl that make you feel good about yourself or something instead of sitting behind your computer aka the playground. Your not happy with your wife, too bad shouldn't have settled for 2nd best. Learn to get joy out of something else other than talking smack about some dudes car. All this stuff you guys said goes in one ear comes out the other ear. When you talk to someone and they give no fucks about you, chances are they aint even listening. When you cruise down the road in your rx7, no one gonna look at you but when you cruising in a lambo, everyone gonna be looking and notice you. So if you really think about it, thats pretty shitty but thats just how the world is. I live a lavish lifestyle and there aint nothing you can do about it other than being able to live lavishly yourself. Learn to be more like floyd mayweather............ *I am cracking up so hard just writing this right now*
Again thank you to all the guys who had positive things to say back when my thread was on RX7club. Tried to share my build and give inspiration to others but like I said, sometimes some people can't take when you have something nice and they don't.
PEACE

There's a pretty hilariously predictable and consistent path taken by those too lacking in wit to spar well here. Bravo on hitting it to the "t".

Ouch. True colors finally come shining through. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but I think you just validated every assumption most folks had about you. Let's see, where to begin?
Car is being parted as we speak. You guys crack me up. Trying to flame a rich kid on a low end car forum.
No follow through. Check.
Too lazy to finish it. Check.
Ignorant. Check. (You have no idea what we do and how we're doing, we've been talking about you here).
"Low End Forum". Depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for people spending large amounts of money frivolously and constantly being dissatisfied with the results then you're 100% correct: this isn't your scene. If you want some intelligent advise, it might be.
I'm the 1% of the population that gets to wipe my ass with 100 dollar bills all day everyday.
Which makes you a "do nothing b----" leaching off mommy and daddy.

Now that's some solid irony right there! How is that statement coming from you? Seriously? You've never made your own money. You've never earned anything in so far as I can tell. How productive is your life sitting on that toilet rubbing hund-o's on yourself?

I'm sure you'll land a lovely trophy wife someday who loves your money (if not you). Heck, maybe you'll even have a nice affair with your maid to go with that. There's a fundamental problem though. Being in love means NOT being focused on YOU. You just said it yourself, you want to feel good about you and the fact that you can't man up to criticism points to the fact you don't. You know you're shallow and you need folks to fawn over you, so when the validation isn't there, you know that something is inherently wrong. A trophy wife is not someone you can grow old with, since bodies fail. Love has to be based on relationship and it seems you're lacking.
All this stuff you guys said goes in one ear comes out the other ear. When you talk to someone and they give no fucks about you, chances are they aint even listening.
How is this not getting through? One of the primary criticisms being leveled in your direction is that YOU'RE NOT LISTENING. You treat this as a point of pride? If you paused to listen and learn from the lessons of folks who have done this before you might be making better choices. If you did listen, your project wouldn't be a failure. Are you really proud of achieving one of the lowest hp/$ ratios I've ever heard off?!? WTF man.

Or we can not give a flying leap what you think... This is a two way street you know.
Floyd Mayweather is pretty much a terrible human being, so the fact he's your hero and can't read. Wow, man.

Ah but we just didn't know you then. Any build that shows potential up front will get positive commentary. How much positive feedback were you getting by the end of it? Do you honestly think that having an FC with a 2JZ making 345 hp is having something "nice"? Yes, clearly jealously is the core problem here.

Nice cars but not sure I learned anything. What was I supposed to learn here? How to ignore my children? How to teach them that daddy can't spend time with them so I send them overseas? To aspire to attend Cal State Northridge? How to crave attention so badly that I have to wrap my exotic car in lime green glitter?

I have 2 actually. I still haven't sold the first boat. That must be why I'm poor and jealous of the high school kid. I'll use my checkbook to wipe up my tears while I'm on the new boat tomorrow.
Notice how sad and depressed Joel looks in the back of the boat.

This weekend will probably be my last time getting in the water this year. I might come in December and take another boat ride before my winter renters show up. The nice thing is that you don't have to winterize your boat here because it never gets below 45-50 at night and I'll be back on the water in April.

To the OP:
Just for the record I've met some ultra wealthy people who were not only very impressed but quite jealous that I have the capability of building my own cars. I think you'd be surprised how many millionaires pay for cars to be built but wish they had the time and skills to do it themselves.
-
I'm not a rich guy by any means, but I do alright. One of the sadder things I've found is that as I work more and make more money, I have less time to do the things I enjoy with my money. I could pay to have my Mustang built for me, but that would rather defeat the purpose of the project.

Crap! I came into this thread late. I was going to offer to trade for my car. It's faster than a C6 at Road America. 11.9 in the 1/4 at 120MPH on slippery tires. Makes 400 to the wheels. (500 crank) without boost or adders. Runs great and is reliable.
But, you would have to front some money. I've got way too much invested to just give it away for something not tested. :wave:

Well, I am a little late, but I have a car for trade as well. Looking for a fully sorted, clean fd in trade, but would also consider op's car. Needs some work but I value it at more than most of the lives on this board. I was advised against posting pictures for someone may try to steal it, but based on the info here, it may help it to sell (besides, if it gets stolen I will just have mommy and daddy get me a new one).
