I am sorry to hear the loss. Unfortunately the warmer weather brings these sort of things.
-
Was it a black or white guy? If I can remember correctly, there was a Red srt-4 that picked someone up at my work a week or so ago in Dublin that had the typical srt-4 napoleaon complex.

Got anymore info on the ford 3.0? What are they found in? Another option is the sr20-ve. You can grab a sr20 block and slap on a VE head for variable valve timing.
-
I don't have one, but you should check on http://www.thesamba.com or cbperformance. Their old school vw guys and they use them all the time for webers.

I'm excited about the cars engine potential. It just depends on how strong the block will be. The Yamaha head design is a major plus and I am sure the car will kill s2000's.

I decided to put in my input but most can guess, zo6 without a doubt. Ya the gtr is nice do not get me wrong but to me it just does not get the attention that a zo6 will get from your average people. For example when I was at work the other day and in the company truck with some co-workers a gtr was pulling up and my foreman said what is this hotwheels pos and I had to laugh and explain what it was to him but everytime we see a zo6 on the road he is like dammmnnnn that car is BAD. The only skyline I would buy would be an r33 or r34 nismo tuned car, cause those cars are raw and right hand drive would be so cool. The new ones just do not do it for me I hate to say.
You're right on. The r33/r34's were unreal. Another option would be to buy a fast street car for 10-15k and save the rest or take the extra money and invest into what got you successful.

SRT-4's are fun. The good thing about them is replacement parts are everywhere and the old school guys who use to turbo the old 8 valves are a great resource for information.
-
I have one also you can borrow, but I am out of the easton mall area.
-
My only problem with the rb's is the price. They are definately good engines, but for myself I would go with the 2j-na engine that has variable valve timing and a r154.

So how easy was it to get the laser drivetrain in it?
-
Since you are already in the VW family, why not just go for a R32 and turbo it?
-
As long as people sign the release, the cage is up to them. It's kind of like racing the Isle of Man, every year someone will die but it's a thrill ride. I am more suprised that no one has died during the street races at the TX2K events.
-
You may want to check into having someone move all of your stuff for you. I know a few people that saved money doing that than a u-haul. The problem with U-haul is the charge per mile. It adds up fast. We sold everything and jumped on a plane here. Saved us cash shipping and gave us extra money when we got here as a back up.

Probally a 2.3 Lima turbo.

If you need help finding shelters and police stations let me know, some of my family is in the capital city also. Im lucky enough to get emails thru. Where did the kid do his tennis thing at? pm me
I just got word today there are fine. From what I was told Tokyo is pretty much back to normal. Everyone is worried about the reactors though.

This link puts it all in perspective:

They live in between fashion district and Jingu(the massive sporting complex) in Tokyo. I am more worried about the kid and mom. The kid travels all over for tennis practice throughout Tokyo and all over Japan playing tournaments. They could have been anywhere when it hit. I coached the kid for 7 years. Needless to say I became good friends with them. The dad would have been fine getting stuck at work. He would just pass his time drinking at a bar.

Not that everyone may care, but I was shocked:

It fucking sucks. I still can't get ahold of a long term client and their family there. I honestly have a bad feeling about what may happen.
-
Brims?
Yup... Thats it. Thanks.
-
Side question. What is the big import junkyard in Ohio? I have heard good things, but I forgot the dam name. lol. I can remember that you give them a list and they give you a price for delivered to your door.
-
Cool. That makes sense. I honestly do feel bad for the guys at autozone near my place. They have a line of 4 people and the phones are ringing off the hook. If they miss a call because they are taking care of customers, they get garbage from corporate.

Ecotec has actually been the fastest in the quarter, followed up 2nd by the old school VW guys, and 3rd was the 4g63. The problem is a RWD transmission. That is also what gets the 4g63s price up there. They do have viable RWD adapters, but the cost adds up quick. It just depends how much and how far people want to go into it. By the time you buy all the adapters, custom flywheels/converters you could have a junkyard 2j or LS engine going faster for way less.
