You need to read some of the old threads! and then come in here and comment/voice your opinion....
FYI, Thacker is the one bringing this race all over AI; and what really f^cked up is that he tells the story like he was on high....
No my car has been one of those cars that was out every weekend, racing and having fun! but like anybody else there is a time when you take it to the next level. And I'm there!
I don't know how much you know about building and engine, or how much you know about building a race engine. But obviously you don't know enough, and have no clue in how expensive and how long it takes to build an engine to race specs.
I could have spent $1,800 in a complete set of bearing and build the engine in a weekend but then what in the hell I was going to do with $1,500 worth of bearings that I did not have to use and cant return to the dealer...
Besides doing everything in-house but the machining; I have a life and a job! not like others!!! and after reading all day and dealing with the FDA and the CE, I work in the car when I can/want.
So STFU and get out of my thread.
My built engine can probably pay for your entire car

... whenever you have to order parts that come from Germany, we can talk about what's cheap and what's not!
