A house, thats sounds o.k too. Usually id say throw the loot in the market and let it earn for a while but, it is way to unstable for that now. If not a nice down payment on a house, I think id sit on it a while. As far as a choice between the two, sleeper turbo fc ragtop sounds like a winner to me

Well, my first priority is to get the new turbo/motor/ECU setup onto the 91 coupe. Then what I'll probably do is send the NA motor back home. when I have a vacation I'll put that into the convertible. I promised my mom that I would get that car running again with A/C, quiet exhaust, etc. so that everyone else at home could use it.
I got my manifold and turbo back yesterday. So I'm on my way. I figure that I'll have more time to work on things in December, but I may start earlier.
