Holy fabrication ****!

Please don't paint the car. Leave it "clunker" color schemed, and let the performance do the talking.

Sweet build, sir. It's cool to see the acknowledgements and thanks at the end.

Thanks for the compliments. The exterior will eventually be nice but I plan on riding ODB( Ol' Dirty Bastard) style for a while

I know man. Hes only been doing it a little over 2.5 years now believe or not. I've never seen anyone progress to this caliber in that short amount of time. Honestly before this build he hadn't even picked up the torch in almost 4 months.

Nismo Kid,
WOW. AMAZING build. 2 1/2 yrs of fab exp.? Hes' a natural fabricator. You fabricator buddy should open his own shop. He would have a lot of work.

Do you expect the OEM trans to last long behind the LS power?

where do you source your SS and aluminum fittings and other pieces?

thanks for sharing your build.

He has done amazing things and built relationships world wide. But has chosen to pursue his true passion. Which he's excelling at currently. Only time will tell what he chooses.

There's been multiple people making 1xxxhp to the wheels through the stock trans. Several of which see good amount of track(circuit) abuse , but most see alot of street abuse. The advantage I have over all these previously mentioned vehicles is I weigh considerably less. I figure if grenade my 3 stock ones I'll pursue a more reliable avenue.

Stainless Steel=Vibrant(depending on size) and Frozen boost, Aluminum tubing= CXracing.(I've compared high $ aluminum tubing to the CXracing and honestly they both have the same inconsistencies. So IMO it's pointless to spend the extra $. That's funds that could be used elsewhere. That's just from my personal experiences.) The rest of my raw materials were sourced locally. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

He's lived there for a while at 1 point. He visits friends up there all the time. Do you know him? We've probably met before. Lol

Thanks man. The black car made 812hp and 741tq w/ stock 2jz longblock @35lbs. At its 650hp setting it trapped 15xmph in the 1/4 while leaving softly and rolling into the throttle. He's expecting to make 900+ on his new setup. As for myself in only shooting for a modest 600whp but won't be upset if it makes more. here's some pics of darkzschneider' Z31
