Maybe simplify the setup a little this time so you can drive the car a little more to enjoy it before going all out?

The mids and tweeters look nice. I have some Apline speakers and headunit in my car but it needs some audio updating for sure. I'd like to go with a component setup.

Had the cruise on, noticed a small bucking feel, then it couldn't maintain speed up a hill. Pulled over at the top of the hill and knock knock knock. Running super rough and way low on power. Also doesn't want to start.

Edit: In case some of you know about my 95 build, I have 2 Stealths and it was the 92. The motor for the 95 better not have a spun bearing considering it's still at the shop :lo5l:

With these engines, you never know :P

And today my crank arrived, Eastwood finally agreed to send me a new powdercoat gun, got the money out for the 13Ts, sold my old rear bumper and cylinder heads.

Taking the crank to the shop tomorrow. Will need a quick polish. Still no idea what the cost is going to be for this crap. Hopefully won't break the bank.

I don't know if you know this, but you're only digging the hole deeper by keeping it. This relationship you have with your car isn't one where you get your money back out of it when you're done. It's one where you have to cut your losses and take value in the experience.

^He's right on the money. Look at what you would lose by selling it, versus what it's going to cost you to repurchase all those parts again plus when it goes wrong again. You're not going to get money back out of these, certainly not anytime soon. So unless you plan on sitting on it for 30 or 40 years, you're unlikely to see it seriously appreciate in value. If it's running, sell it now. If it's not, do the bare minimum to get it running and then sell it.

Thanks for the compliments! I would post a build log, but the build is done. Sure, I'll post a pic when I get home (in like 2 1/2 hours).
