Message	Car still runs phenominal.... Its rather comical when someone finally catches up and you greet them with a nice plume of oil smoke!!! We inspected the turbos when we put the MSPs on and one was immaculate with perfectly acceptable play, the culprit, was mediocre so we knew it was innevitable that it was going to go out, but this was just a stepping stone to the bigger build. Once you've felt 500whp+, you'll want 700whp+, then 900whp+... etc etc. "I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by" 1980 Datsun 280zx 1991 Nissan 300zx TT 2006 Nissan 350z
