Hey guys, haven’t been here in a while.
Yeah it’s a long story. But short version is I got bored.
About a year ago I was offered a sizable sum for my built engine and so I sold it, well sold pretty much the entire engine bay, thought I can totally stuff a 2.5 in there and turbo it.
Well sold the 2.0t, bought a 2.5, and then I started a job that had me clenched by the nuts. I was making very little income, much less then when I was running my landscaping business, and I was unable to afford to do an engine swap, but more than that it was also a full time commitment, often taking up to 15 or 16 hours in a day, I had no time. So the car sat for a year. And for a year I went through a dark period where I was very unhappy with my financial situation and just with life, a job like that doesn’t allow for much freedom. Well I quit that job mid December this year and I decided to turn my life around.
Sure enough, I got a job offer that paid better and required much less commitment. So I started thinking maybe now with the new salary I can afford to fix the car, but it’s just not a passion of mine anymore. It’s a 10 year old entry level sedan, it struggles to compete with anything by today’s standards. So I decided to list it for cheap no engine and it looks like it is gonna sell quick.
I’m going to be driving my jap suv for a bit until I can find a car I really like but I’ve been very taken by the 996t, they are a very good deal for the car you get.
Either that or ttrs perhaps, depending on how they retain their value, I can’t justify spending 50k on a ttrs, it’s more like s 30k car to me.
The cool thing is that I’ve gotten a lot of interest in selling the car and three people actually said they would buy it to continue the swap. So maybe someone else will get it done, for now I’m just interested in starting a new chapter in my life.
