Another 9000.00

i dont know what kinda of suspension you can get for 1K, my coilovers alone on a intro price cost that much, not to mention another 1K on control arms, and sways bars, and suspension tune... corner balance, alignment 1K or s, i have about 3200 in my suspension alone...

im looking at spending about 12K for my built bottom end and TN Stage II turbo kit.

Anthony

My car is in the bodyshop for another week... We should get together... Going from a stock Z to a TT set up with over 400whp is a real nice jump... As far as a shop it is a no-brainer PM is the best as far VQ R&D... You may want to do a two step process like me Kit first enjoy it for a while and when winter comes next year drop in a motor. Or do it in one shot... They have some pretty nice things planned for there street cars... Hopefully in a week we can go out for a lenghty cruse... I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Vinny has not realeased his street motor for one main reason... He has seen "something " that he does not like... I think he has it nipped, so his engines will be hitting the streets soon... I'm always in the shop and the last 2 months or so he has been working pretty hard on it... The "something" is directly related to cycle life. Vinny will only put out a product that will meet or exceed his standards... He is constanly emphasising on "cycle life" Which no one ever really talks about, It seems like everyone is concerned about how much HP can a Crower/Pauter/Eagle rod can handle... While that is important.... Those that want to hold on to their cars; I'm sure care about cycle life!

*There is a reason why none of his Supras from ten years ago are come in for repair*

Whats up Rob, I was over there yesterday talkin to Vinny, we were talkin about your car. I should mention he had a lot of good things to say about you. I asked him about building me a motor and he said the same thing to me about the cycle life, they have definately learned alot from there racing experience, and that knowledge will be carried over with their street engines. Theres no doubt in my mind that when Vinny is ready to release his motor to the public it will be every Z owners dream. He told me there is 9 people he's got waiting for a motor already. He's not rushing to release anything until he knows its right. BTW, can't wait to go for a ride, really lookin forward to seeing the difference.

You know what I love about this guy... I said why don't you release the motors now, bang them out... I'm sure for street use they will be good for 3-5 years... He said nope.... No way... He's never pushed out a motor early even back in the day when it was just him and he needed the money... He rather loose the business... It is very rare in life you find someone brutaly honest,(kinda a NY thing) That's Vinny you may not like what he has to say, but it is the truth... I'm in sales my self... I've never seen anyone care for their customers the way he does...

Yes the car is still @ the body shop... We will definatly hang... I think you will like the addons...
