but i think the experience of building your own stuff is more fullfilling

Well back on topic, the car's build looks nice, it should be a fast **** when done. Anyway, I noticed you guys talking about the whole oil flowing up stream thing, and that the oil return will be flowing into the oil pan right above the level of the drain plug. Well that setup wont work, you need to have the oil draining back into the pan above the level of oil. Other wise you'll burn up your turbo. Just a heads up =D
Hurry up and get those pix of the whole car already!

Agreed. i would kill for a car like that. 3g's that's nothing. By the time I build the kit I learned on, and my current one that will actually turn out some decent number, I would have spent close to that. Not all of us can sit around for the once in a life time deal. I'm not bashing anyone here. What you Build is what you build. How you pay for it is you business!

Josh this thread isnt about you, what you do or how much you make. You can make your statement and leave it at that. But filling this thread full of ---- is out of line. Some people pay others to work on their cars, some people build them themselves.. Big ------- deal!?
Reguardless the guy looks to have a pretty badass setup and I think most of us want to see more pics of the car and alot less bitching going back and forth on the forum.
Unlocked, and keep it on topic..
btw wtf happened to my moderators?! lazy *****

Pictures are limited of the outside. I only have 2. Don't let the trailer confuse you with streetability. This car will be driven everywhere, daily..... the only reason it was on the trailer was because the headers were off it.
Tons of pics of the car will be taken the weekend after this, along with vids from it being dyno tuned and raced, if everything goes as planned.
