Yeah what I mean is like.......all the way down to Bride seat and a roll cage type deal, of course the seats can wait......(not that they will be cheap or overlooked) just put on hold to make sure it's done right. The same goes for some other nick nacks but as for shaving cost off of the engine parts for this.....can't do that for sure.

Me and him were pretty crazy in the day. Actually, he had enough huevos to race crotch rockets. I was always afraid to run over them if anything happened. I did race rob with a smaller motor and lost sad to say but Rob is all show and go back in the day. I miss turbo.

...uh hugh..........I never raced you .....so you might want to check your memory........u were to chicken to race after hearing about me beet the 550 HP cobra..........u never pushed your car to its fullest anyways........u were not a contender back in the days ...sorry. Its ok to dream : ....j/k
anyways me and hugh have been in the turbo game for so long we know what shops can and cant get the job done. The numbers pushed out by "some peoples" g's do not impress me one bit. For the price of a kit you can buy much better quality parts individually with the time put in for research. I was able to beat r6's gsxr 750's and stock r1's back in the day....have vids of all these races.........that was with a civic properly put together and tuned by the BEST (tony 1). yes i was into show........but you dont know me and have not known me for that long...someone like hugh has ...and he knows I had sum time and research put into my turbo cars(as he did as well), i had one for show and one for extreme go.........my time was put into the all go for the most part.........and have plenty of "know how" on what to do and how to build a properly built safely tuned turbo car. its fun to watch newbies play with there cars and not get the full potential out of them....."shakes head"...............and my seats are sparco's not recaro's

You and me did race remember? when I had my old setup and when my new one came in and I was the talk of the town you were out by then getting the G. Anyways, I have not had anything done by VSV/Velocity/Matchless but a lot of Dallas people did. Of course Arlington brought their best to North Dallas to compete for bragging rights on highway battlegrounds. I don't talk shiet about shops nor does Rob...it's just personal preference. Joetech is famous but people still don't like them and the same goes for VSV/Velocity/Matchless. Tony Paolo is infamous in his tune, welding, driving, etc. He understands engines like second nature. Check him out.

I know we're totally off subject but good luck with the build and I hope you do it right since it is a rare to own a skyline better yet a fast one
