A Subaru is a good car A Subaru with a Turbo is a GREAT car... Yasin

Wow what a transformation....your car is exquisite and looks incredible, please do not crash it! Shiny side up! Regards - Yasin

I really really like the leather Recaros..those are the *real deal*...easily worth $500 for the pair especially with the contrast piping. That car has a ton of body work done to it, which I can appreciate the effort, but the taste and style terrible.....sadly. Yasin

Awesome work Hugh!!! Congrats on a tricky install and I tip my hat too you fine sir! Bye Bye Peg Leg! LOL! Regards - Yasin

$28K for your car is well over $10K what it will bring...sorry to say, your car is spectacular, but people are not willing to pay that kind of $$$ for a Datsun Z, to put it in perspective you can buy a 1979-1986ish Porsche 911 Turbo for $28K and still have a few grand left over to upgrade the turbo and exhaust! C63 is amazing, no doubt about it. I have driven a C55 and Supercharged E55 (almost bought it) and so I cannot imagine what the C63 would feel like. The M Z4 Coupe does nothing for me. Yasin

I say try it and let us know! Yasin

Its funny that Ryan brought up the headwork and cam...This is really where these old non-cross flow L engines need some help, the port, valve and polish work that was done on my head yielded just over 40additional hp on an engine dyno over a bone stock head, both heads had stock cams, this is on a P90 (non-hydraulic). Both your cars are very very quick machines, no secret there and the video is a small sample of that proof! Chris' car is insane! Once again thanks for sharing buddy! Regards - Yasin

Impressive video..all the cars were VERY stout...you guys in TX have some serious muscle! Regards - Yasin

Ivo - PM sent! Yasin

Looks great Hugh....my plate will say "$$ Pit" LOL Yasin

You mean "CTS" not "STS"...the STS is still daddy's car. Yasin

Ivo - Many thanks for sharing, I will re-echo everyone's sentiments and say that is fabrication, talent, dedication and design to a whole different dimension. So are you on the fabrication team? How is the company doing overall? I know their parts are not cheap and it is a competitive almost cut throat business, with the shop, the projects, overhead and 10 members of staff the bills can add-up quickly! Please continue sharing the pictures, they are very inspiring, jeeez even the picture quality is a whole new level of clarity..LOL!! Regards - Yasin

Inspiring Bo! Great numbers and you are knocking on the 400s! Which is an incredible feat. So you can go on your vacation and rest easy? Regards - Yasin

Good numbers Gabe! That torque is incredible. I am sure your car should be closer to a solid 330+whp car, with some tweaking of the AFR a bit and the boost holding steady. So what turbo were running and what will you replace it with? And just as a reminder this is Austin's old motor right? Regards - Yasin

Hugh - So the only difference between the Type III and II is the round foglight or brake duct holes? Regards - Yasin

So where are the pics? Yasin

Wow..sad to see the up for sale...your price is extremely fair..very tempting! Yasin

Looks great I have always like Swastikas, and yours looks fantastic with them being refurbished. Yasin

Congrats Warren, you are knocking on some serious ETs! Yasin

Unfortnuantely the market for non turbo 944 cars is soft. If your car is in good shape mechanically and cosmetically why not put in on eBay and set the reserve at a number that is fair for you but still will make the car sell. Non Turbo 944 cars are not the fastest cars in the world, but they are still dead sexy, good handling cars that will cruise at over 100mp/h all day, trying doing that in a Civic! Yasin

I am sorry, but I have *NEVER* liked kit cars...and I mean "NEVER*....the knock off Porsche 911, Ferrari and Lamborghini ones are *simply* the worst. The build quality is crappy as they are mostly fiberglass from badly made moulds, terrible noise and heat suppression, uncomfortable interiors, the wiring in my old Console TV is better, they all run bastard engines (in your case an old roachy carb'd 10A, 12A rotary - no thanks!), tranny combos...they have one plus and only one..they are light...but would you want to get into an accident in one? You are selling two great sports cars that demonstrate build quality, performance, handling, safe, reliability, good looks...I could go on and on... The novelty of driving one of those would wear off faster than a Sunday morning hangover. Sorry for being "hard and cynical"..but you asked. Yasin

Bo - Many thanks for that link on your piping routing..not sure how I missed that thread - oops. Interesting read and feedback. Regards - Yasin

This does not exist, a "kit". You have the piece together your own oil cooler, brackets and mounting location, then run your lines off an adapter where the filter mounts. All these parts are luckily available online from Summit Racing and eBay and not terribly expensive. Yasin

Well after Justin...Joel let me be second to say that looks fabulous...you guys are pushing the talent envelope farther and farther...I love it...just keep it in reach for us lesser mortals 'kay! Also what was the the wiring ballast like and did you have to upgrade your car's 30year old harness? My best - Yasin
