Bitching about a 4g in a 3000GT

[familyMAN]

Lack of marketing. No shop has ever really made a big fuzz about their accomplishment. A stock internal 6g72 ran 9s on a ~3200lbs car. Imagine that on a 2000lbs car.

And then someone will bitch that it's a gutted track car and a disgrace to all other 3S owners that bought their cars as Grand Tourers.

Just don't understand how some guy in his garage messing around with an angle grinder and welder can cause so much grief for others that just happen to own the same car across the country. Bizarre.

I want an easy to wrench on platform that allows easy and cost-effective setup changes to satisfy my need to tinker. I also want to make power from 4-9k without breaking the bank. It needs to be somewhat civil for date nights and weekend trips with wife when we get a kid break. I prefer the timeless, retro-badass looks of a 1g VR4. So I built what I want. For weight, it should end up in the 3300lb range with full interior and AC. Not light, but not what I would consider heavy either.

We are messing around with 20year old cars as a hobby. Nobody flippin cares what engine is in it. Hell, the general public won't even know what brand it is, much less the model and engine it was supposed to have. The only way I will regret the mods I've done over the years is if the cars become collectable, which I highly doubt, and my 135k mi car wouldn't be a great candidate anyway.

For those that are continuing to make insulting remarks directed either at me or the swap I will invite you to do one of two things.....1) come over to my garage, hang out, drink a beer, play with the TIG, talk about cars, come for a ride and enjoy this car hobby. PM me for cell and address. Or 2) Fuck off Either way, I'm still going to enjoy my car and hobby.
