what are your plans on for the brake system? Obviously your going to have the rear end converted to Disc (if not already) and lemme guess, 13" rotors, 4 piston Calipers?
There's a company that gets advertised that has some damn good prices on the brake kits here using Wilwood brakes. Very nice stuff!

"Racing is a sport where the one with the most money wins."
Mad love to the guys building the car, My mentor used to build sand rails and yesterday i heard him say that he can tell who build their own sand rail in the dessert, i asked how?, he said, because if you go thru all the work , headeaches , cuts ,... etc, You dont go around criticizeing others vehicule's unless they bought it fixed up already . interesting . I started thinking the same way a couple of months ago,but today i asked myself :
So does that make somebody who goes out and "just buys" toys less of a car guy than one that builds it on his backyard? I dont think so , It just makes builders jelouse because we have to learn o lot of shit, then try it ,and redo it, because it didnt work or there were better ways to do so. Isnt life a bitch !!.huh huh lol
Nice car man , wich ever way it is your idea kick's ass and it shows in the car .congrats

So your super custom suspension isn't here, and you instead decided to just order whatever? I doubt he'll be stuffing anything that big in there brakes wise.

I don't know about you but I don't make shit loads of money an hour at my job so I guarentee it takes more work hours at my job then it takes time to work on a car. So while you see a guy that pays someone to do something lazy that they could have done on there own I see someone using their hard earned money to make them happy.

I'm real curious how that manifold/tb setup is gonna work out for you. I have been thinking about finding a tb that will hook up something like that but on a smaller scale that is about 2.5" and goes straight to my IC piping.

I remember the thread DSM-ZERO started some time ago asking our opinions about the uber-large TB's. It didn't quite go well in his favour.
I hope it is relatively streetable, Zero.
Oh yeah, almost forgot; where's the updates? We need more pics!

hey lets just hope he's lucky, and is enroute to his home back in this country ya know.
Thats a long flight home, plus he's gotta go see family, find a new place, call up the internet provider and schedule them to come install the high speed internet, miss them the first day, wait at home all day the next time they come out, finally get it up and running, and log on to dsmtuners.com first thing and give us the updates.
Don't worry Zero I got ya covered!!!
