Angry bad day with my swap

ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
why god why?

ok it's like this i sold my prelude for school then i sold my rx7 because my f--- school wants more $ so i was left with my 240 so my ex got me the sr20det red top witch made me happy and love her more *F-- B---* don’t get me wrong I love here!! Any ways moving on so then i got to work its been like 2 months and i got no more $. I need piping for the intercooler and a cat back and some other stuff like a drive shaft. the swap Is a pain in the *** “ohh yeah its easy” people told me yeah f-- right the only easiest part was the auto to 5 speed I was about to quit “light a match on it” my dad told me as I looked at him with a yeah ok look on my face. when one of my guys pulls up in his s13 black top he gave me a ride witch made me more sad but gave more of a motivation to get here up and running. My point is and its just me talking f--- doing it your self!… when you dont know what your doing. Sorry but I needed to get this of my chest…

yeah i hear ya. its frustrating. honestly i'm pretty handy with a wrench (i can do everything except an engine swap. never tried), but when it comes to that.......ehh i'd never take that on myself. i know people say its easy, but as you've seen, not really. takes patience and money. little pieces missing here and there can turn into a headache real quick. "light a match on it" lol i like that.

dont freak out man, When I dropped in the replacement motor into my car it was my first engine swap too. looking back though it really wasnt all that hard. Just make sure you have some people to help you out when you get stuck. What are you having a problem with, maybe I could give you some advice.

If you on tight budget and need good exhaust check out VRS
http://www.vrsexhaust.com/ they sell full catbacks and just piping kits you can get someone to weld it for you. You can get 3" aluminized pipes only for 150 bucks. They are pretty good with fast shipping to. I used them for my spec V, my 240 and my bro has same kit as well.
