Newbie in da house
Hey, Waasup, I'm new here, just figured I'd come and say my hellos before I go off Post-whoring like an SOB
First off, Despite my name, I don't own a Skyline R34 GT-R VSpec II, But if anyone wants to give me theirs I would be a happy camper. What I do Own is a 1987 Ford Tempo, Its not much to look at... or drive, but I think shes got some major Potential as a sleeper if the right Touches are put on her. What my plans are, Is to rip out the, for all intensive purposes, Useless 2.3L Single Cam POS engine, and to replace it with a shiny new 2.0L Twin Cam Zetec, and then throw a turbo/Intercooler kit on it, I'm thinking I can get 200HP to the wheels before i go messing around Internally. I Know what your thinking, and yes, I am crazy, but I have the whole thing Planned out. For the most part, my biggest problems will be: The Mounts, and The Sensors. I know a Zetec will fit due to the logic that an Escorts Engine bay isn't any bigger, yet the ZX2 has a Zetec. anyways, I'm just randomly talking so shout your comments, questions, suggestions this way and i'll read them

Firstly, welcome. Secondly, before you go doing all that to a car that's "not much to drive or look at", why not just save the cash and buy a car that has 200 hp stock?

well, what would you do if an ugly POS tempo pulled up next to you at a Red light, Challenged you, and then proceded to wax your ass off the line... providing of course that you were in a Civic or an RSX or something below 200HP, plus, 200 is just the start to me, I want to, eventually, pull 12s or 11s in this thing. (I'm not a F&F Junkie, these are my actual goals)
It would be... the ultimate sleeper

Welcome, R34. The guys around here are great at making newbies feel welcome and they even provide a rare breed of entertainment, many with a New Zealand flair. Make yourself at home. I'll be seeing you around.

 Well, if a sleeper is your goal, then an old Tempo and a few thou $$$ should do the trick.
