Default Decided to turbo the M3, need a good summer job.

So I'd rather do something rare and put a turbo in MY car. I like everything about my car except the performance catagory it's in right now, SSs, Cobras, stock supras, etc.. will destroy me.

I've vowed that by the end of the summer, my car will be capable of owning THEM.

Besides, a turbo M3 is a lot more rare than a single turbo supra or TT supra.

So anyways, the kit should be about 5k, I'll need another 1k for extras (gauges, big clutch and flywheel, etc.) I would want a 6 speed so I could get a differential with a higher ratio, increasing accelleration, but euro 6 speeds are 1.5k so that's out.

Does anyone know of a job I could work over summer, providing lots of hours, around 50 a week. I'd need 9.5 an hour too, maybe something interesting, but that's probably asking too much.

Let me know if you can think of anything or hook me up, thanks!

Yeaaaaaaah, because E46 M3s come cheap these days.

Maybe I should buy a Ferrari and be "faster and looking better" too. hmmm.

I'm staying realistic, if you think it's ugly.. sucks to be you.

e36's are badass, I'm looking at buying an Estoril one myself (if I can find one). Seen you post around some of the other M3 boards. Best of luck on the turbo and on the job hunt!

go work at busch gardens and work about 60-70 hours a week and get paid $8.25 an hour. work your ass off, have no life, be a workaholic, and be shit outta luck when it comes to doing stuff to your car because u will have no damn time.

What does him finding a job and asking for a little help have to do with your opinion on how the car looks? Did you turn stupid or were you born that way? What a way to make an impression.

But on to the relevant stuff, there will be a lot of job opening as Spring rolls in. Check newspapers check anything that might possibly have a wanted ad. IMO, best place to go is Circuit City or Best Buy and you'll get the hours you need at the $9 or so rate (depending on the job).
