Mmmm I dunno.. prolly very similar. Granted I am not including the cost of the car....

And you do have a lot of flashy things that have ZERO to do with a "normal" 20B conversion.. (COugh PC/Touchscreen) Personally... I wouldnt EVER put them in my car... that is why I have a server rack next to my desk at home
That stuff is just fluff for car shows. Auto Illusions has a lot of overengineered stuff that will look REAL good.. but the justification for some of it is questionable.

But back to the stuff... yeah its prolly close even with your gadgets But eeh... not gonna list his investments. I like my garage intact

Again, I am not sure how he could have more in his than I have in mine. Almost every part of my car from the bumper back has been replaced. I didn't just do an engine swap with a stock motor like most people on here did. Anywhere from fuel, driveline, suspension, body, and various other electronics..

I have no doubt that he has a lot in his car, but parts are parts. Hardly anything was left untouched on my car and assume his as well.

And besides... I had to the conversion TWICE.

Lesse...about $8,000 right now?

Granted, the car has no turbos, but it did manage to put down 232.
Engine is dead stock.

232 hp at the wheels? This is on a Dynojet dyno? Any idea of what torque it is making?

I'm interested to know because I'm building an extend port 20B naturally aspirated, just about done.

I did a write-up in another thread in here.
I think it was either 190 or 195 lb-ft.
Yes, it was on a DynoJet.

Home from work now.. and DAMMIT..... the car is silver now.. (If it is the same one.. which I think it is...)
http://www.cityperformancecentre.com...ion.htm#Photos

And.. well the badass video of it racing on the track, plus footage of it with the front and rear off of it.. mmm nice ride... anyhow the video I have starts with a front view and wraps around through the inside and the tail of the car with the rear wing etc off of it. Then they give it a push as it starts a testing run.. mmmm soooooooooooooo wonderful the sound.

The clip is called "mikac-les-web-01.mpeg" the video of them just sitting and revving is 02.
NO the clips I found using google are not the same. Same car.. but not the ones of it during a testing run. The testing run.. as it zig-zags down the hill... really awesome.
I got it from Cityperformancecenter.. but the car is silver.. and the videos are not there. sadly.
Ivan Mikac was the owner in the video I have. 1:48, and 39MB
If someone has a spot to put it.. send a PM. I will happily spread the wealth..
