Take a good look at it before your write your comments. At a glance you'll see that they are different colour, pattern, & material. The front seats & back seat area also completely different, as well as the door trims. But i only spotted that at a glance. I'll asume your being sarcastic about the cams because Mark Jacobson uses these cams in he's customers "street GTR's" which make 966hp @ all four. The R34 GTR at last years Sydney autosaloon made 1264hp @ all four. I did expect some sort of criticism towards the build anyway.

I understand exactly where your coming from I've spent a bucket load of money over the last 3 years and now finally after all this time its all coming together really well. I've always been particular about how parts look, sit and fit but at times that can be frustrating but also very rewarding Your engine bay and setup look the goods and also makes excellent power and thats what its all about. Taking that little extra time, spending that little extra money goes a very long way. I would have loved to see it in the flesh at nationals, maybe next time ---------- Post added 20-04-10 at 21:38 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by GAS747 [View Post] I love this car, the trim looks tuff! cant wait to see it in person! very soon ---------- Post added 20-04-10 at 21:43 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by GMHBT1 [View Post] very nice mate well done. just wondering why you didnt go the usual really skinny runners. what you are using look a lot wider than most usually run is there a reason you have chosen to use these than the skinnys. Im using the convo's for street tyres, I've also got another set of wheels for the track. I've brought some weld magnum pro's 15x3.5 (GOLD) and 15x10 for the rear. I would like to race the car on street radials in full street trim including a exhaust. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You'll be fine, but if you do... the front seat trim is removeable so you can pay con to make a new 1 and you can keep the old 1 as a suvenior of your experience just the same when you come off a rollercoaster you can buy the pictures of you screaming your ass off LOL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
