Why do you need such potent turbo's for a stock block build? do you plan on building the motor? also why did you get a hks knock-off? was there a problem with buying an original hks exhaust?

Chris'smax, what car was yours? I was there today, just curious.

I have to tell you, Sharif had so many cars there. I just like to see all the cars and the people who have such a great passion for the Z.

Because i would like to build in the future. Just didn't want to jump to a built motor right off the bat. I want to ease in to this. I have owned FI'd cars before and what i have learned is that you always want to leave room for improvement. Maxing out from the get go usually leads to boredom when you are a tinkerer like me.

Regarding the exhaust, yes there was a problem with buying the original (about a $800 price difference problem). No need to pay extra for the hks name based on my experience w/ the X02 exhaust. I even have the original HKS tips on there so you could NEVER tell the difference visually.

Some people have issues some don't. To me it just wasn't worth the risk right now.

Man i already pm'd you a long time ago explaining that i could not find the tires and asked for a address to send you a check to refund you the 30 dollars for shipping cost. The sale was for the wheels and tires that were mounted. I was basically GIVING you tires becuase i had no need for them and asked that you just paid for the shipping. PM me with a respones.

Looks like a great build with a lot of room to grow. I don't think you'll have any trouble hitting your target.

I'm stoked to see the results and feedback from this project, as I'm sure the OP is as well.

Any ETA as to when you'll have it back, Chris'smax?

Screw monster! Rockstar, NOS, or nothing (unless absolutely required). You don't like the blue one do you? There have been reports it makes your doo doo blue.

I LOVE the blue. Lo carb FTW. The green has way too much sugar for me.
