suterman · Dec 13, 2006

most certainly the nicest build on the board.

socalsean · Dec 13, 2006

Why does the crank scraper have all those nuts and bolts on the side where there is no teflon?

SwedishBrick242... · Dec 13, 2006

This is looking to be the nicest 242 since Doug's. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Blackbrick · Dec 13, 2006

I'm thinking it has something to do with the b20, don't quote me.

thanks for kind words, updates will be here from now on.

I envy you....

What turbo is that? Where did you get the Watts and the Valve Springs? Also, what wheels are those?

Tamnakz · Dec 13, 2006

I have to ask.
Do you need to get laid? Or does that car do it for you?

Mesoam · Dec 13, 2006

^^ there is text inbetween the pics, i missed it the first time too

that is nothing short of a BAMF mobile...

4point cage? is that also a fresh coat of paint on the outside or the original nicely cleaned up?

holset hy35w, watts from steffanson (pat), valve springs are comp cams (p/n a secret), konig reign 17" require spacers - for sale.
