true but not for someone who's never done it before ...

God, the more I think about it, the more I don't want this car.

I need some convincing people!

I'm going from an automatic, leather, super luxury awesome car, ice cold AC, PS, Power steering wheel, windows, super smooth beautiful car to an S13 with a 1JZ. No power steering, No power windows, No A/C, no nothing. It has no speedo/tach. (Is the tech2motorsports magnetic coilthing the easiest way to fix that?) and I just think I'm going to have to dump a lot of money into it...I really dont have any money to spend. Someone please either talk to some sense into me or prove I need this car...I really want something fast, and this is a good opportunity, but it seems like I'm losing so much, arghhhh.... Someone tell me the first time I hit boost everything will be okay, haha.

I'd love for you to enjoy the JZ community.. (well 1J at least :biglaugh but dude without all those accessories depending on where you live that sounds pretty uncomfortable. Hitting boost is definitely something, but its not always gonna solve all that, if at all.

I started another thread about it..

I live in Wilmington, NC.

It gets pretty hot and humid down here but it should be getting better after summer stops hitting so hard. I can do without AC, but the Powersteering is going to be tough.

At least if I can get guaranteed a way to get powersteering back, it will make me feel a lot more comfortable..
(Speedo can be fixed with the Tech2motorsports magnetic coil pickup)
