    Been thinking about that . Already invested a lot and if I try to sell it as is , I aint gonna make shit off of it . Dont really wanna part it because used parts move slow these days . So I'm kind of stuck lol .

    That's what happens when you go for a really huge go big or go home build unless you have $20-30k to spend at the drop of a hat. I spent two years on jackstands doing a 3.5L 5857 build only to get sick over coolant issues at startup because a shop was incapable of replacing copper o-rings on the block surface. I don't want to relive that downtime again.

    I'm going to wire them so that one terminal on the battery has a male terminal and the other has a female terminal so they can only be plugged into one end, so as to avoid fuck ups.
    or into each other...

    It took me a long time to even collect the parts to even get where I am lol . So yea I would have to agree with you totally . You need 20 to 30 k at the minimum . I know damn well I have over 20k invested but its nowhere near running condition and plus there is tons of other shit I want /need for it to be where want it .

    I let mine set 8+ years due to many other non car related activities. Early on I started collecting parts, many high dollar. Now that I'm back to the build I'm finding that many of the parts are outdated because there's newer and better options available. Sucks doing everything twice!

    Yeah friend of mine bought his vr4 like 8 years ago. Not to long after put it in a ditch. After that he ripped the motor and trans out and started collecting parts. Its been so long most of what he has is now obsolete. He traded the vr4 plud a bunch of parts like a genuine 20G tdo5 kit and ETS fmic along with other parts and bought a stealth.... that he broken within a month or so and now itd been sitting for close to a year.

    Hes probably dumped over 40K now between the 2 cars
