I think that the build would have to be from alot of people besides just one. Its like someone does a damn good port job, but dosn't assemble a short block that well, or vice versa.

Who can port but not reassamble the engine afterward? It's not like there's any secret to it.

If I needed a ringer to build, tune, drive the car, it would be you...hands down.

Some people use different techniques that are usually either more or less reliable than others, or make more or less power. Or it could be what services they offer, or are equipped to do.

this is basically a free advertising thread for people to plug their businesses and affiliates.

So either it'll get moved to the FS section, or the mods are gonna start charging $300 per post in this thread. ( want 10% for the idea)

Uh, WOW! Funny, but I was seriously expecting the colorful responses. This is good stuff. Sty lemon, I'm thinking, so long as none of the "chosen" start advertising their skills and just let their clientele do the talking, we'll be fine. RETed-hell of a job you're doing at being, well, nice! ;-)
A lot of guys are basically saying that they would be a part of that dream team. That’s cool and all but my point was to identify the guys that possess knowledge beyond the typical forum member and had a business, or were professional racers-not that I’m bagging on the ones that are not. Hey, sometimes we all get stumped and need someone to turn to. Thanks for the info.

Of course! My point is even some of the most advanced people on here may get stumped and would need someone to turn to. Once you think you're not in need of help is when you stop becoming better at whatever it is you may do.

I was thinking it'd be a good idea to get some info from the people who won unlimited RWD in nasa this year. In the FD. As far as engine building and tuning etc.

Didn't the people at mazdatrix build a really fast road race rx-7? I'd ask them about suspension.

Then as far as body work, i'd pick only oem, mazdaspeed, AWR or RE-A parts. We already have good aerodynamics from the factory right?

Then I know someone local who does ******* excellent body and paint work, to make it pretty.
