Looks great - good luck with the build! I have those tires on my street car ... certainly not what I would recommend but I suppose you have to take what you have with a $2012 budget

 

[racetearoffs]

Any Kumho tires are budget exempt they are a major sponsor of the GRM Challenge

 

[socorob]

so how much will you actually have in your $2012 car?

 

[racetearoffs]

We figure cash outlay to be somewhere in the the range of $1300 in hard parts . We will be way under budget .

 

[socorob]

Wow. I would have thought tires and a rebuild kit would have been that much.

TITAN ENGINE rebuild kit was like $199 http://titanengines.com/, if do your own work you save . We do all of our own work and we could not be happier . If you farm all your work out you have got a money pit . Work smart ad work hard do your own restoration and get out there in the garage . Sitting on the couch is for losers and dreamers . We demand it of ourselves and we live it . Stalled projects hehehehehe I am waiting for you to die and then I romance your widow and drive them both . Got head on driver today
