Calling fibercations to send in my spark plug cover to get laid in carbon fiber
going to discount tire to get my konig hotswaps and nitto invos

Holy ****!
That's a loooooooot of fun stuff.
Though, I think you're missing out on some of the fun of modifying.
What was the final cost?
Cometic head gasket
ARP head studs
Did you order pistons too?

of course! ive done everything myself so far except for the things i couldnt do like swapping out the wheels cause i dont have the tools to take a tires off wheels... and of course the pcm flash. im pretty lucky cause theres an auto shop on base and all you have to do is take a 20 minute safety class then you can use it all you want. its got every tool imaginable, a lift, and all sorts of fun stuff.

But you wont put pistons in even thought you already plan on having the head off (and possibly the engine out to do the clutch and flywheel)...... that makes sense

tell me why id need them.. you really think ill be pushing that much to need pistons? i highly doubt it. thats like saying, well while i have the head off i might as well just sleeve it too, no actually ****.. why not buy the whole new stage head from JBP.. its only $3000. "that makes sense" sorry to tell you but the military doesnt pay well, and my bonus will eventually be spent... it isnt endless. so i think id rather keep the last of my money in case something happens which often times does when working with aftermarket parts. so keep your sarcasm

Yes, with a 2.6 pulley, and knowing that I already had the engine out of the car (and considering the change you already spent), I would put a set of pistons in. But its not my car, nor is it my engine. But I know I'd be pissed when i had to pull that engine back out to rebuild it cause it melted down a piston
