looks good dave, should pull some decent numbers when it's done

speaking of numbers, dare i ask how much this whole build + initial build when you first got your z has costed? that's pretty much the only reason why i'm not considering going the built route, it's such a crazy financial pit

Thanks Guys.

I try not to think about the cost and I am still writing cheques. At this stage it was go all in or go home.

Sasha has been extremely helpfull and gets back to me right away with any questions or concerns.

My poor car got covered in salt on the way down though. I will have to go and clean her up.

This is really going to be one of the if not the cleanest highest powered 350's in Canada, a real all around car that is comfy and legal on the street, fast on the strip and compliant and drivable on the race track, of course reliability being one of the key ingredients!!

Dave's got great taste and likes to do things right the first time around, which we applaud and can appreciate, when it is sooo easy to buy knock off parts this day in age.

It's going to be a very exciting build, and I can't wait to get started on it!
