Yes, house buying can be stressful -

Do you have a "buyers agent"? A broker/agent that represents just you (and NOT the seller)?

If so, I suggest you let him/her handle the negotiations - less stress for you.

I recall one time that I ........ nah, don't do it that way -

So we put the offer. Seller didn't like the EM, so they counter offer wanting $20k EM. We counter offer w $5k EM or $10k EM w seller paying up to $5k on the closing. They're still not convinced that we want that house. Seller is an agent/co-worker of my agent (they work same place). I told my agent that we really like that house and not planning to back out, UNLESS it's a meth house or some dead bodies are hidden. Even then, he's not convinced. I'm at this point, I'm questioning his business ethics and having a doubt of the house... well more like when we do house inspection and need to fix, he gonna cheap out or bitch at us. Now, I'm questioning his business ethics and questioning the house now. Side of my head, he just want that $10k because he knows there's something wrong w the house and take that $10k.

You may remember that I cautioned you about that. I suggest you request a meeting with the managing broker or owner of the agency they both work for and see if he/she can help you sort it out.

You go get em, Dadhawk -

Seriously, too much candy and junk in it for me.

It's not a bad idea to maybe have a second bracket up top, but then again dishy is only 11.5lbs...

I've been following K-engine swap thread. It's interesting read.

I have been following K swaps back when Pure first started theirs. It is something I was very interested in. My current plan is to build the car for W2W in T4 but I have been getting cold feet on it. I like my car, I like being able to drive it on the street. Not being able to drive it on the street would be a big negative.

Much ado about the intake manifold. I took one look at that thing and predicted the only change would be an upward shift in the first torque bump. Bigger plenum, shorter runners = higher resonant frequency.

Ace 150 or the Anaconda requires head rework in order to be advantageous. That killed my dreams of high-rpm NA gains a couple years ago. Same reason as yours. I want to keep mine in that sweet spot for streetability. It's already perfect, IMHO. Maybe an ACE 350 someday but I'm shy about tuning too. I stare at the engine and can't help but appreciate what has been accomplished ...for a two-liter flat-four.

Maybe a better transmission.
