Some very nice pictures of the progress and you've got some real quality parts man. I don't want you to sell it, but everyone gets to a point when they are ready to move on to something new.

Only you will know when you're ready to move on.

haha, the Andrew front mount. That's what we called it. LOL

Looks good Carlos.

Carlos don't mind the pressure, but if this car don't see any track time this year you lose all credibility. hope you keeping that in mind. just a little hint.
hope you don't think I am an Asshole for always doing this, but everyone will agree with me, you need it.

I really should post the Papa Los Bobble Head photo!!!!

For sure !!!! I'll be running it as long as I dont sell it first . I got a few people interested in this car so if I can unload it I will . If it goes i'll be ordering my car asap so I can still play this season . If it doesnt sell I'm gonna race on bow boost (500whp) and see how far into the 11's it will go .

Mike - I thought we burned that damn pic already lol ..............bastard !!!!

don't you sell it before GRW! dammit!

you don't think I really got rid of that picture do you? I also made a bobble head out of you sitting at your desk in the VPC!!!

This car has come such a long way, but if you are looking to get something new, now would be the time. Especailly if you are still entertaining the Idea of an older skyline. I would do it now, while you still have time in Europe. Rather then buy one just before you leave, ship it and get to the states and find out you need this and that just to get it to par. Then you are stuck with killer shipping issues. That is what I would do.

1989 Skyline GTR or GTS-T would be sweet. Hits 25 years in 2013 I believe, which means it's registerable in the US.

GTS-T would be sweet! I would get a 4 door Skyline as well! Everyone who seems to have on in the states has a coupe. 4 door sedan would be money!!!

from what carlos has told me, he's gunning for a 2 door gtr. I don't think he'd be happy with anything else.

carlos, seeing the pics of the car makes me want to turn into a Honda guy...... LOL

great setup.....

Carlos, I'd hate to see this go...but I know whatever you decide will not disappoint. Just make a decision already! LOL
