the color is off the nissan 350Z, Roy his shop is in jacksonville. not to far from you. he knows his rotarys. plus the guy who works for him building the motors, He use to build the rotary motors for Mazda. he was the remain guy. So far i am very impressed with them and the work they do. ill keep posting pics as the car comes along.

Looks good, can't wait to see the results

With everything stripped and the car being torn apart, I can't help but get this image in my mind of open heart surgery.. O.O

Oh man this is "the" question. I don't want to answer for TurboSmoke but if he is anything like me (I am finishing my TII swap this weekend) but at this point I just don't want to know cause I would cry.

lets just put it this way the first stage of it is running me 7k and then i still have to do, brake upgrade, turbo upgrade, fmic, halltech, new rims, seats, alarm, and suspention. i figure when its all said and done it will be around 12-14k. give or take a grand.

Now mind you turbosmoke is doing alot of things he doesn't have to to do the swap but he wants his car to be a asylum for his madness just like the rest of us do with our cars.
