I should have said double on my estimate 
edit - why is the exhaust on there twice? the exhaust shop charged you 310 to put it on?

Doesnt it suck how you think you can buy a few things for around $500 each (engine, trans, wiring) plus add in another couple hundred for misc and you'll be under $4K total?
Then you, add up all the BS little things and you basically double the amount?!?
That is the game though, right?
I know it won't (and can't) stop me from making slow cars crazy fast with today's technology!
