Thanks for the reply's everybody. I went to the shop yesterday and for a quality swap I'd be looking to spend between $13-18k for a setup I'd be happy with, which is way more than I'm willing to spend. Basically, what I'm looking for is more drama when I drive the car. I've had the car with full bolt-ons and a tune for a while like Tim said, but that isn't really special enough any more. I got a quote yesterday for a heads/cam/intake setup from them yesterday, and even though it wouldn't make as much power as a tvs or procharger I'm thinking it would provide me with more than plenty of power and, hopefully, the drama I'm looking for on those special occasions when I do drive the car. I'm going to think about it over the next few days and decide if I want to put down the cash for the parts. Am I closer to being on the right track right now?

I really just haven't had the time to take it out very often this year, and since it only gets used once or twice a week it had me thinking of getting something less compromising. The one thing that keeps holding me back is the fact that my GTO is in absolutely perfect condition inside/out/mechanically and I'm afraid I'll be asking for a headache switching. I'm going to go to the shop I use today so they can take a look at my tune and do a general checkup and talk to them about options for my GTO (procharger, tvs, or n/a) and see what they think I'd have to spend for a quality LS swap into an RX-7. I'm cuntfused, lol.

Thanks for the info, this is a lot to look through. I'm really looking for a car I can drive on nice days/weekends. I won't be drag racing the car but the more I read the more I think I'd prefer to go with an ls1 for a reliable/fun motor. There is a nice shell for sale her locally for $4800 so I've got to look into how much it would cost to put an ls1 in it.

So, I've only driven my goat like 2500 miles this year so I'm thinking I'll be letting go of the GTO soon and switch it for something that will deliver a little more raw driving experience for me. I'd like to purchase a vehicle cash and try to stay around $12000 or less. One of the cars I've always wanted and am considering now, is the FD RX-7 but I know almost nothing about them except they look great and seem nice and small/light. I've seen a few TT versions for sale around my price range but I'm unsure of what to look for in them. Ideally I'd want an lsx powered FD but I don't think I'll find one for what I'm looking to spend. Basically I'd like to know what to look for in these cars and any other suggestions for a fun to drive weekend car. I've also been considering a Datsun 510, LS1 Nissan 240, and non-turbo MKIV Supras (but no turbo would suck and it would be a year or so to gather funds for a tt swap). Thanks in advance for the opinions and knowledge.

I liked the joke competitors on the Japanese version.

I'd love an LS FR-S.

If you decide to sell it yourself it really isn't hard. PM me if you want some blank contracts.

I just sold one of the rental properties myself and had a much better experience than I ever had with a realtor.

TRD was really just re-badges of other companies parts and, of course, stickers and t-shirts and oil caps.

Ditto x 1000

Cool video, who's silver GTO is that?

Oh hell yes, Gummo is awesome!!

Welcome to CR!

I would highly consider it for a regular daily duty car that I didn't always use.

Congratulations, nice choice.

Good intro and welcome to the site. For some reason those look like Mustang wheels on your car to me.

Thanks for the links, I think I'm liking the idea of an i3 or i5. I'm going to look again when I get home and make a purchase.

I've never lost a race so I wouldn't know the feeling....I guess it pays to have an LS1 Sunfire ftmfw!

I'm not going to be able to use any current parts since I don't have a desktop right now. I'm open to putting something together myself, I just feel like the cost, once I get software, is going to be higher. I'm going to call you Thorne. I saw this one on the lenovo link, but I'm not sure how it compares to the original one I posted and the hard drive is tiny: http://outlet.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/outlet_us/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=445&Code=7373X06

There are some cool retro arcades/bars here in Houston. Get your drink on while I whoop your ass at some Street Fighter ftw.

So, I need to buy a new desktop computer and I'm trying to stay under $500. So far I've found this and was wondering what you guys thought. http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1933603&Sku=D211-11012&cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot# I will mainly be using it for internet/playing HD movies/tv. Thanks in advance.

Fixed. :dumb:

Welcome to the site, always nice to see more GTO's.

I can teach you how to catch a trowser snake if you come over.

Very cool, congratulations.
