If I was going to do it and could afford it, I would do what he has done except for the carbon fibre. The sound of a turbo'd engine is completely different to the induction roar of a set of carburetors. More subtle, very sweet instead of a flat brum, brum.

There's too much crappy music and yap in the video, should have let the car speak for itself. The last 3 seconds was pretty good though

...its easy to spend money on a car.
I paid $1100 for my current S130z, and have gone well over 100 times that so far on my build, and still months away.

And i am sure there are many on this forum who have done the same...

yes true.....looking for another set of triple mikuni 44 so I can have both zed's running on carbs - the more I think about it the more I want to have both cars it will just take longer to get them going while $$ are saved etc

this is on Need For Speed; The Run.
some of the cardon sticky does match up. im getting my guards an bonnet wraped in 3m carbon. $300 to get that donw then mayby another $900 to do the rest of the car.
$210,000 doesnt go far when you get a conmpany to make the car for you, where us kiwis would do 30% if not more work ourself.
