just not worth it. I say buy a STOCK car and mod it yourself so you know every single thing thats done to that car. I bought my talon with a ACT 2100 clutch a boost controller SAFC and fuel pump, and rims. I GOT EVERY RECEIPT EVEN THOSE FOR OIL OR WASHER FLUID! and thats relatively stock for a 1g dsm

Unfortunately this might ring a little true. As great as I thought the porsche was when I bought it I've spent about 20 grand fixing things the previous owner did to the car. Another 7 grand and replace the ecu and wiring harness and the car should be a real runner.
