Message	Back to mostly parts talk.... -Stillen is SLOW. -Coz *IS* the man. Parts got to us quick, on time, and at a good price. I hope that in my abscense they're still getting Z parts from Coz. I'm friends with multiple vendors but most of them weren't up to it in the time frame i'm talking about. -Make friends with the Nissan parts guys. -When planning a big project get comfortable with going 20-50% over your parts budget at some point. -Don't skimp the cheap stuff (hose clamps, hardware, etc) -Wire taps are bad (well...a single tap on a non-critical part is probably ok) rich '91 300ZXTT "Stage 2.5 10psi" 298.5RWHP / 302.5FT-LBS 13.48 @ 105.65 Z32.org
