all i gotta say...shinjuku kabaroke....ive never been solicitated so many times in my life....
second second side note...drinking is mad cheap...2 bucks for pint glass of vodka ginger ale...unheard of (at least in chicago)...

If you like shinjuku you should visit roppongi, girls will literally drag you away. as for the drinks you struck gold most beer is 6 bucks a pint,8-14 for most american and german beers and shots and mixed drinks are usually around 10-12 give or take .50 depending on the exchange rate.

You can bring in a 96-98 skyline from japan and get fully legal documentation from the DOT depending on the states and emission controls. there are a few companies that do it here in japan and it will cost right around 20k for everything. the car has to be modified by three different companies and inspected by the DOT and the EPA to ensure proper compliance as well as having the proper paperwork from both nissan in japan along with correctly filled and filed import/export paperwork. we recently had a capt. bring back a R33 GTR in total it took him just over 2.5 years to complete everything and around 50k including cost of the car and stock/aftermarket, as well as compliance charges. BTW all of the motorx cars are legal. The DOT and EPA gave in on the ones already completed and delivered to the owners. btw homeland security would not be the ones taking a car back that was imported illegally that would be customs and immigration.

the short version is dude brings celica in for a paint job and eventually snowballs into full on extreme build; 16k later kid shows up to pick up said cellica and has no money and is now trying to get it back through some loophole.

its a long read but well worth it.

In a street legal cobra, no problem whatsoever. Its less than 3k in parts, tune, headers, pully, full exhaust, CAI. That gets you in the neighborhood of 500 whp with an 03 or 04 cobra. Now if you switch blowers 550 without breaking a sweat. Better yet pull off the huffer and put in a Helion turbo kit and 700 whp is not unheard of, emissions legal too.

i put down 463rwhp and 478rwtq with a pulley, intake, o/r x, catback, and a tune, a ported blower, 6lb lower with a 3.2 upper will put you damn close to 550. slap a kenne bell and your at 600 upgrade your fuel once thats done 650-700 no prob. a whipple is good for 550-600 from what i have seen.

long but a good read

oh no dont do it ls1tech doesnt need more trolls. j/k guys there are some seriously sick cars in that thread even more throughout the site without FI you should check it out.

you really shouldnt use the 360 upright, they are notorious for chewing up discs. also if you need a cooling setup get the one that plugs into the usb port in the back otherwise you face a greater risk for the ring of death.

find any f body and use theirs mine from my 97 z28 worked on both my 2000 and my 2002 z28s. if not go to a dealer im sure they will have them or could get you one.

yes i have a bolt on 03 cobra however fyi travis is quick but not as quick as you think every time we race my front tires are at his door. we have the races with me and travis on video for all you nay sayers. and im sure they guy in the vette couldnt drive very well. but that is what happened

up in grand forks yesterday i saw a new red z06, i played with him on the highway a little and from 70-130 put barely over a car on him. his liscence plate read redrckt. any one know or see him before?

ok people the car the op put a pic up that resembles this one in the debate is a wrecked 05 gt. all he put on was the side exhaust and the body kit. he had it at the prime steel car show this spring, i have tried many times to get him to run while in my cobra and every time he hits the breaks slows wayyyyyyyyyyy down and takes the first exit. do not be fooled it is really absolutley nothing special, looks good but worthless.

Did you pick up the one from Jerry?

i called and left a voice mail but never got an answer back. i have to wait until thurs or friday to get it into the dealer anyways so i will try again tomorrow.

my cobra snapped a half shaft. i guess thats what happens when you finally get traction.

Whats wrong with the GTO one of the fastest cars on the street idk y people talk crap about him!

are you serious? gtos weigh soo much 400 hp is not enough. its sad when a f body will out run one. nice interior just plane crap without h/c/i/e or forced induction. for the money you would waste on a gto there are plenty other cars to be had that make more power for much less.

the machs have the same break setup where as the gts do not.

i plan on it eventually i was just wondering if you are running a conservative tune i have heard of the whipple being close to the kenne bells. i am going to try and beef up the irs first so i dont break anything when i do upgrade. unless i find a mach1 owner who would like to swap rears with me.

what size whipple are you running? reason i ask is cause there are a lot of guys putting down that much power with a ported eaton 2.76 with a good tune. i put down 460 with a 2.8 and bolt ons. just curious i am considering the 2.6 kenne belle, or ported eaton with n2o
