He's got the complete package. I was barely able to afford my block, rods, and pistons....When you get that motor up and broken in I wanna run you! Then, I wanna drive it!

All together, with the emanage and profec e-01 i will get tomorrow, it will topple the 10K dollar mark. I honestly cant believe i have spent ten thousand dollars on this car after purchase.

And no you cant know where i live:D

And for you people who say oh well you shsould have saved for an evo or sti, would you rather have an evo or and sti, or a forged tuned sleeper msp?

I opted for the third option needless to say.
