      Well it seems that my plans for the car sort of exceed my budget! LOL so I've decided to come up with a new build plan. Since I've already spent money rebuilding the engine I've decided to go back to the idea of a turbo six banger with an efi system. But to keep costs down I'm going to use a megasquirt system and an ebay turbo kit.
      This will be backed by a short shifted t5 transmission. Suspension wise I really like the control freak's front coilover and rear 4 link setup. It looks like a good setup and it won't break the bank either. I will use the 8 inch rear end that I already have and pick up some v8 spindles along with the v8 steering setup that way I can run 5 lug wheels. I'll probably go with a wilwood disc brake kit for the front and a summit kit for the rear. and finally I plan on using some torq thrust look a likes off of ebay in 17x7's for the front and 17x8's for the back. I think that covers the basics for my new plan. After crunching the numbers this setup seems to be able to keep me within budget with a little extra room for all of the misc items that we always overlook.
