The 300 is a hardtop? If so,thats pretty rare from what i understand. Do something with it(its a tad bit lighter, and has enough headroom to wear a helmet in for someone who is 6ft tall,where as with a sunroof doesn't) *hint* *hint*

OK quick update I scored some slightley used 720's for 100 bucks and I also traded my intercooler +some cash for another intercooler thats the same size and lighter + dirty greddy hard pipe set.

On another note my friend said the motorset would take 2 months to stock again......I dont really want to wait that long. Do you guys know where I could get a 6speed motorset?

Hey, nothing a little TLC won't fix. My car has seen better days for sure, could use new seats, paint, headlight fix etc :P not a bad buy for 1k. Hopefully your engine plans don't cause you to neglect other areas though
