I sometimes feel as though i should have brought myself a race/track car and put up with a regular street car and not spend money on the line.But i like it too much.Not spending the money,but,seeing the car in the finished state.

Ive seen so many people throw their money away on alcohol and drugs and have nothing to show for their working lives.I think that this is my drug.

!Trust! !out!

Its stupid saying youve wasted all that money.. at the end you have a beautiful car that you love and cherish. To me, that better than having lots of money. The reasonn you have money is to spend it, so why not on something great such as a personalised car?

one thing i have never understood is why people buy car and plan on selling em

why buy it if your gonna sell it

i bought my car with the intention of building to exactly my own specs and for me to enjoy it

not to sell it and let someone else drive around in something i busted my ass for and spent endless late nights building.

i would rather burn it than let someone else have it.

i would rather build cars than travel or go out and get pissed or smoke my ass off. ive got something to show for my money that i have earned

ive always been around cars being built from the ground up

because my uncles used to restore classic euros and a few aussie muscle cars

so ive always wanted to do the same

now that i can do it nothing makes me happier

hey mate that comment is sooo damn true, couldnt have said it better myself :P

travelling memories dont last like a new turbo or something :rolleyes:

i would only ever mod my car to a certain extent. the way i see it, i dont need a 10sec car on the road, really whats the point ? aslong my car has an exhaust, pod, alloys, minor bodykit and a nice sound system then im happy. no need for massive turbos, cams etc. why bother spending 3grand on something that u cant legally use on the road ?

track and drags :D

go down to a decent tuning shop and go for a ride in a powerful (450hp at wheels gtr, etc) car and then u will understand :rolleyes:

250hp at wheels or abit more is fine and great when youve only ever been in stock commodores/fords/jap cars but when u get in a powerful car it makes the 300hp or whatever feel like a slug :P

each to their own :D

amen to that StageZilla!!!

i love spending money on my line and then being able to go for a cruise and have some fun enjoying my hard work. sure poeple could say its a waste spending lots of money with upgrades that you cant use everyday but hell its as fun as!!! being able to push it a little bit and feel it take off is the best feeling ever.

have converted many of my friends by taking them for a ride in my line. they are all thinking about getting a decent car and spending some money upgrading it to.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
