Who wants a KA-T BAD!

Post by 8-bit »

I do. I can't stop thinking about it. It's been creeping into my conscience, first monthly, then weekly, now nearly daily or a couple times a day.

i feel like something must be done. :/ no money :/

... hrrrmmmm....

I know I do, that's why I still lurk around this forum, that and this forum is actually the best there is. Everyone is nice, and funny, and no one gets butt hurt, even after some flaming.

I really miss the throttle response on a decent sized turbo on a KA. Just giving her throttle and start moving. I've since moved to a 2jz MKIII, which has it's perks, but waiting for power in the high end is something that isn't that fun.

I do.
I have all the parts, a base tune worked out and a place to do it. I just need a dd that will stay running long enough to put my car in the garage.
That and lack of money and time. Mostly time.

i'm pretty freakin close to having all my parts...i think. i just don't have much time. My wife and I just had our baby girl 4 months ago and that has consumed my life. Not that I mind at all, it's been amazing, i just want a fast car. I might end up selling all my stuff and yeah, i dunno. I'm getting discouraged.

I dream about having my car go turbo :lol: I picked up the braked assembly and the clutch assembly 2 weeks ago. I am going to have the z32 tranny looked at to make sure its ok to bolt in. I have no money either and its depressing but I have an ace up my sleve. :D if everything works out should be turbo'd by september with a body kit and new rims to boot

I don't think I'd do that either... A well set up MR2 turbo would be awesome.
