Yes Im serious... Could be I just miss my car being on the road. It's been 7 months plus now.

But I'm seeing a lot of OG's leave the game - and its hard to stay motivated when I don't have a lot to look up to. I like doing custom things, don't get me wrong; but its been 16 years, and sometimes it sucks when you see other import genre's have many options other than custom.

Not really complaining as I love this game, just something I think about often... especially when I'm not driving my toy

Charles will not make anymore and his mani was never said to be E/L. The gains from an tubular that is off an inch or two to a true E/L is small especially with a small turbo.

If you want to go fast you have to pay for it. I have over 20K in my ser and it isn't even running. I am just hoping to run a low 10.

yeah a g seems a bit much. id like to get a shorty equal down the road. i was actually considering the tublar ebay ones that claim gtir turbo placement.

i hear ya tokes about it being so hard and so expensive to get things made for our cars, nx's in particular. but we really cant complain that much, there are many cam options, turbo and mani options. we really cant point fingers we do have alot of choices when it comes to parts. theres been a few things that havent been made for our cars but i took my time and made them (my ic set up) or made it fit. or say aftermarket exterior parts ie. cf hoods. jose had to bust his ass to make that **** happen. **** i have like the only set of eyelids for our cars and they came from germany lol. patience and persistance.

but it does suck when i see some lame ass cars with some really trick parts. cf fenders, hatches misc exterior pieces and interior stuff. o well.

do work son.

Rich I was so close to grabbing that manifold after reading a ton of **** about it on the gtir forums... they have two of them. The 2fast2cool guy stopped selling them in the states, but he has a uk name. No ext. wastegate, but its all right. A few people have tried the newer versions and are doing fine. I ended up getting my gtir mani ported, then all of a sudden a tubular poppped up and I randomly cut the checks.

In all honesty, I got desperate... If I had the money to take some classes, grab some tanks, and buy a mig and tig, throw 220 in my garage I would make my own stuff all the time... lol, but you know how that goes.

I'm just bitching... I think I just need a couple late night drives... mmmmm soon

I wouldn't think twice about making my own if I was making that kind of power. I would skip the classes and just start practicing.

XxToKeSxX and others turned off by that price tag check out http://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?board=14.0 there are some really nice how toos and a lot of guy that just dont have that kind of money to throw around. I really like the site personally
