Kamotors E30-Turbo to ITB M20

[Bbbe30weee]

Are you all really just going to believe this bull? Spends loads on his car then all sudden can't spend money on responsibilities, gets donations and now has money to blow again. Come on..

im almost mentally stable..

Theres the key ;)

Looking forward to see what you can work up for a filter set up on the itbs.

So, yes, we are financially stable, and im almost mentally stable..

Thanks for clearing things up for those of us who were scratching our heads a bit.

Albeit with some scars, you'll get there in time.
Keep wrenching dude.

I hate to say it, but this was my thought too. I see tons of money going out for no less than 3 project cars, plus all the AutoX, but at the same time you have to sell off a turbo system to pay bills? IDK. Not that's it's any of my business, but as an outsider it seems odd.

So why the change back to N/A with ITBs? First it was turbo m20, then N/A m30, then turbo m30, then m20 N/A ITBs, then turbo m20 again, now back to m20 N/A ITBs?? I don't get it, you're literally throwing $ away to re-do the same stuff over and over again.

I posted a longer reply above but I'll clarify some dates as well. Lost my father March 10(today is 2 months since), for the next month I posted my mother's gofund me so we could cover the mortgage, which we did, I sold off my motorcycle and e30 turbo setup to cover next 2 months. With the money I make doing my business I will put my e30 back together. I didn't autox until April, which was $35 and I didn't out money into a car until April 7th which was my birthday, so I treated my self to some coilovers with my wholesale account.

And again I am DONE messing with this car, it's going back to when I was able to enjoy it the most and I never want to wrench on the motor of THIS CAR again.

Hope this clarify the financial situation.


Also the only setup I ever lost money on was the M30 becuase I spent lots on labor and machine work. I technically make money every time I switch back to N/A. I sell off EVERYTHING I dont use.

I don’t think there are many ways to ask this without seeming like an asshole, but how is it that you’re building your E30 back up already? Two months ago you were so strapped for cash that you started parting out your E30’s bolt on bits to help support your family after your father passed away (extremely commendable on your part). Yet, a few weeks later and we’re seeing $$$ worth of new parts rolling in for the E30 (in addition to ongoing parts for the E38 )?

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing I’d like more than to see your E30 back on the road, but what’s changed in the past few weeks? Were the gofundme donations enough to deal with most of the short term money issues for your family? Or were the financial strains not as significant as you initially thought they’d be? You may have already discussed this elsewhere, and if you have I apologize and please direct me to where that information is, but a little clarification will go a long way towards making sense of what's going on here.

I look forward to seeing you shred more tires soon dude.

I completely understand how it seems, the gofund me was for my mother and 2younger brothers to pay the mortgage and medical bills.(the money goes straight to her account) One month of mortgage is over $2000, which is what the gofund me payed for. I raised close to $5k to put away for the next 2 mortgages by selling my e30s turbo setup and my KTM 525 motorcycle.

My 2 younger brothers both got jobs at home depot within 1 month of my fathers passing. We have put away enough money that I can now put my e30 back together, because they are no longer in any danger of losing the home anytime in the near future.


Why am I going n/a?? because I am DONE with my e30, I never want to touch it again. I'm going back, yes backwards to a time when it was trouble free, worry free and I had nothing more to do than oil changes.

I didn't think I'd have to explain things like this, but financially me and my family are currently stable, if it wasn't for the gofund me and the partout we would not of made it to this point where we are today.



So, yes, we are financially stable, and im almost mentally stable..

[kamotors]

You gonna get fancy on the intake or just put a filter on it?
