    Yeah mine will not be a turbo car but will have the look of the the GTO car and as much serious suspension work as I can throw at it. Just about have the chassis work complete, just waiting on a few more control arm bushings to arrive. Engine re-build using a 1st gen JDM engine is just getting started, so to is ordering the rest of my rollcage. I already have a 4 point bar, but I'm looking to order the front half from IOPort Racing Products, if they'll sell me a 1 1/2"-.095 kit....

    Would jump all over this, but our new house is going to cost less. I will likely have between $10,000-15,000 in my car when it's completed and race ready. Plus I would be afraid to race such an awesome car, well maybe in HSR where there's not as much on track contact....http://www.hsrrace.com/
