My 92 Laser was a whoppin $400 so I promptly went out the next week and plopped $520 worth of tires on it after spendin $150 or so on timing belt parts to it to get it goin again

After a (too) long hiatus from the world of HP I've restarted my 2.4 Mitsu/Hyundai engine program, and as all things Texan, the build list is Big and Ambitious! Have been doin buttloads of research and snaggin bargains on parts here and there, but the shortblock should hit the machine shop within the next month .... Woohoo!!

Plannin on between 300-500 smooth streetable hp in turbo trim, but I'm gonna start out with an NA build and tweak that set up 1st so I can get a good feel of what the the engine profile "likes" 1st.

The actual parts and varied gizmos and processes to be incorporated into this build would cover several Loooong paragraphs but I will at least be slingin some cash down south to some of the Aussie folks by investin in a tricked out Davies Craig electric water pump set up.

BTW, thankfully our gas has been doin a nose dive lately and is at $1.75 for 87 octane currently and the e85 I plan on usin in the new engine is at $1.39.

Had to give up on the Polos PJ, make my man-teats look too damned big!
