alright guys whats the timeline looking like now, for the BEGi kit??

 

About the same as the short and long tube headers..

 

If any of the firsties want out I'd like to get in. P.M. me if interested.

 

Funny you should mention that... Im not getting out, but I wanted to let everyone know Im postponed for a while. I told Stephanie what happened and am waiting for a reply.

A fork in the road came up for me 2 weeks ago, on one side I had this kit and on the other I had a house. Unfortunately the funds for this have been used for a down payment and some closing costs. I had been watching the market for about a year now waiting for something good. I found this house that was appraised at 118,000, but was foreclosed. Freddie Mac only wanted 52xxx, so I am now in escrow. So far inspections are going well, it will cost about 3xxx to get the house in perfect shape for my family of 4 and most of the cost is painting inside and out/supplies.

Sorry for any Californians waiting for someone to talk to the smog ref first. If anyone needs help with that just PM me. I have all the needed numbers and info. Its a very easy process.

 

Well let me congratulate you on the potential new home! A mans got to have priorities and sounds like yours are in the right place!

Good luck on everything going through.

 

Thank you, I didnt want to post on here until it was for sure, but we are in escrow as of last Thursday. The only way Id still be in for the kit is if the full house inspection tomorrow goes horrible and I dont think it will. Im finally getting my man cave!!!!!!! Its a 2 car garage with a single car door, plenty of room to add many benches and cubbies. It definately makes getting a FFR GTM kit car alot more realistic.

 

Hello. I'm new to this forum but I have owned my Crossfire since '08. I've just been reading as much as I can about the Crossfire. I was wondering if this kit is only available by getting on the list or if it is something that we will be able to buy later on down the road. I'm currently stationed in Kuwait and most likely won't be back to the States until 2014. I would really love to have this kit if at all possible. I love my car too much to try to replace it. I've almost got it paid off too...I'd hate to trade it in for a SRT just to have payments again. Thanks.

 

First off, welcome to the forum. If your interested in the kit, the best thing to do is read through this thread and the original thread. It should be available later, but at this point we dont know a whole lot yet.

 

First of all, thank you for your service.

Secondly, I think you'll be in the catbird seat for the turbo by then, as I anticipate this build taking the better part of a year before the wrinkles are ironed out. Once developed, this kit should be easily reproduced and you shouldn't have any issues acquiring a kit.

If you must switch over to the dark side (SRT) I can assure you it's not that bad. I missed my Limited for about three minutes, and then I pressed the go-pedal.

Cheers,

Pretty sure I know this answer.. But if your Limited hadn't met it's limited life span.. How quick would you have jumped on saying goodbye to it for an SRT... So you know where "we the NA owners" stand don't you..lol. Given your circumstances - I'd probably have to give the SRT a long hard look before going back to NA, but already owning her it's full steam ahead with keeping her and working towards "All she can be".. LOL.

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes...lol. I really don't see myself getting an SRT, it was just me rambling. Just seems like a waist of money on my n/a, just to trade her in. I like a good challenge anyway. From what I read, the SRT has a rougher ride anyway. I love the way my n/a rides. Either way, I'm looking forward to a nice turbo kit.

 

No doubt, I would have kept my Limited had it not been murdered. It was a superb car that was in immaculate shape. I had made it my own over the course of two years... gone in an instant.

The murder left me bitter, I went for blood on the car's resurrection.

 

Confirmed.

The ride in the SRT is as comfortable as falling down a set of stairs.

 

Haha. I think I'll stick to my nice n smooth Limited.

 

yeah, I don't know, I'd be torn between just getting an SRT or back to another NA if mine got killed. Now if they made a white SRT like John almost had, well then no doubt it would be SRT. But I really like everything about the NA, except for thos rare occasions when.....

 

All this talk about more horsepower and turbos makes me consider just going big and dropping in a aV8 like Lantana did, but I just don't have the "know how" to do it. Even though there is less get up and go, waiting for a good turbo kit seems to be the more cost effective method right now as well.

 

as above, when mine gets to that point, assuming all is good otherwise, the V8 dropin will be the way I go. the turbokit is cost effective, but in the end the 8 would be my choice to keep my white, and the ride and get the power.

 

Good point. I guess in the end, with the V8, you do get more bang for the buck. Putting a V8 in her would be a good project for me while I'm at Wyotech. I've got two years to decide, so time will tell.

 

If I was doing a V8 drop in I would be looking at a supercharged V8 drop in.

 

LOL! Oh heck, while we're at it let's just go and sneak a V12 in there. Just teasing you Frank. Fact is there comes a limit for me anyway, of the mods that give me the best ration of cost for benefit. the 8 would be about it for me, since I don't track. But dropping in a SC 8 would then mean all sorts of other changes, such as driveline, and probably support and components that would have me climbing the fence. For the inability then to really use this, albeit fun, would be a tearful waste. I think my back corner badge would read "NA8". but at this point, I can't see tearing a perfectly good engine out of her just for my own ego. Now if I could get one of the Neon owners to buy the 3.2 well, then , a trip to Milwaukee may definately be worthwhile.
