i want to jay, especially for the price he wants for but i dunno if i can raise the funding....as i said i spent 2k about 2 weeks ago and last weekend i spent another $600 when my best friend came in town so i gotta regenerate that $2.6k (plus the difference that he wants) and Christmas is coming up. its hard to tell the 4 and 7 year old they get nothing while i get a new TT motor.... (although if my Christmas bonus is what it was last year, i should easily be able to get it and their stuff)

BTW do you want me to get a actual shipping cost for those pins or what would you like me to do? i loathe going to the post office so i may just UPS them to you, just let me know man.

hmmmm i would assume your messing thomas but its hard to read people's tone.

IF i pass this deal and i gave you the info. i wanna work something out to acquire the TT kit since you said you wouldnt be interested in it.... if not i know ricky (HI98GS) is interested in it also but you did ask me first so we'll c

regardless neither of you should be interested in the TT kit as your already SC (and said you dont want the kit) and he's already got this same turbo kit so i really would like to work out a way to get the turbo kit from whoever does get it, IF i dont...maybe splitting the cost or maybe a 1/3 of the cost of the whole thing. i dunno... i hate to lose my chance to own the whole thing for such a great price without a chance to get anything (i want everything though) since i have done all the leg work so far.

i have a few concerns though im hoping he drained this motor of all the fluids since its been sitting for 2 years....i have asked for pics/specs but i have no pics/specs so far so we'll see what i get
