>moved on to other projects over the years

Fuck me. I need some inspiration to drag this thing back in the shop and complete it before it starts rusting away outside. It's sickening to think that 5 years have gone by and I still haven't heard I run.

I doubt anyone here has done something more stupid with their hard-earned money than I did

You installed the engine into the car without first checking to see if it'd run? Boy that's risky. You must not mind taking engines out

That sounds like A LOT of money spent on a 2jz. What were you even trying to do with it?

Not me, but sounds alot like my mate who has been trying to convert his s14 from auto to manual for the past 3 years. We were just laughing about it the other day and how it has literally sat in the same spot for 3 solid years.

>he bought an NA sr20 and 5 speed box. The other sr was cooked.
>2014 - "this will be done in a weekend"
>2015 - "I think it won't start due to an immobiliser issue"
>2016 - "I think it's something to do with the fuel pump"
>2017 - "I think it's something to do with a bad loom"
>tell him to take it to an auto electrician
>he refuses and claims its too much money
>mfw
