Mark - thanks for the encouraging words. Yes fun does cost money, but feeling guilty for throwing so much money at the fun is taking the fun out of it. I've been asking around to see what the current going rate is for a ready-to-drop-in 3.3Turbo. This is what started all the backsliding. It looks like I'm already upside down in my "investment", and the motor isn't even in the car yet. I sent the CIS and exhaust systems to a P-mechanic to be checked out. Latest word is the stock turbo is barely within tollerance, the injectors are shot, and the wastegate has a 1.0 bar spring (I don't want to go over 0.8 just yet). No word yet on the CIS. I found a set of 930 t-bars so that is taken care of. Still need a Carrera/930 oil cooler though. So you see, I still have thousands to spend before my maiden voyage. All this makes the V8 conversion seem down right sensable.
About the increased value of my car, what do you realistically think this would be? I think I'll start another thread on this subect.
