I'm gonna be ordering sometime this week, whenever I get paid, a Novarossi NS12S3. It's normally about a $350 engine but I got connections and can get it for $230. The sucker makes 1.52hp@41,000rpm. That's killer numbers.

She'll probably be a pain to tune. Won't use her all the time unless i'm racing but it'll be good bragging rights.

Part # - NS12S3A1
Displacement - 2.1cc .12
Power - 1.52 HP
RPM - 41,000
Stroke - 14mm
Bore - 13.8mm

Well since i got a new engine, i got some other stuff needed. A rear exhaust header and pipe, failsafe, temp gun (been needing it for awhile...lol) and some new foam tires. Oh yeah, and I wanted a proline stratus body but they didn't have it so I bought a protoform 2 door accord, close enough. And also some misc. items

Which went to a grand total of $250 bucks! Damn this hobby's expensive
 
There goes your dirtbike...but just keep spending money-the guy with the biggest wallet in the world couldnt beat me.

Well...maybe he could. But DEFINITELY not KWONG
 
I scrapped the dirtbike idea last week. I'm spending 1 paycheck on myself then investing the rest of my money.
 
Update: I think this novarossi S3 really owns all, except for the S5(1.6hp). I can go as fast as my O.S. CV-R with half throttle. Still breaking her in so it'll be a few more tanks before I see how fast she really is. It's a beautiful engine, hate to say it, but almost too fast for me.

I'll probably end up putting her away and swapping in the CV-R again until I feel up to racing. The engine is a screamer!
 
Haven't decided yet. Probably whatever my dad tells me to invest in since I don't quite understand the whole stock market and such.

BTW, i'm gonna set aside about $500 to lower my car and put intake on it. I'll still have $1200 for investing so it's not too bad
 
Investing-Buy Low Sell High.
I think you should use some Ebachi springs and for the intake, Injen or AEM. Go with quality. Oh, and lowering and an intake will cost more than 500. Unless you plan on putting the springs on urself. But still its gonna be over-Coil-Overs costs about 500 already.
 
I know the basic concept of stocks...i've played drugwars..lol

As for the intake and springs, i'm getting TRD springs and intake. They won't cancel out my warranty and I got the hookup at the dealership.
