Im just looking forward to the eventual vids when its completed, of Jeff pulling away 3 or 4 car lengths like he did the NSX. Good luck on the install, Im sure the car will be more of a beast than it already is or has been.

Dude, thats nuts. Much respect for you always pushing the envelope. Where do you get the money for all this? I mean, you must have spent around 100k on your car already, right?

I dont know man. If you add up all the body parts, suspension parts, stereo, engine build, trany builds, chrome plating, all the different turbo setups, engine management, fire rebuild, etc it must be up there. I might have to start doing more headlight retro's myself. Jeff's car will continue to be a dream car for many people, myself insluded. Best part is, he always mixes it up so its never deja vu.

Having kept up with Jeff's progress over these last years (yes i troll the GS forums, and yes it has been that long! ), I can honestly say, when its all said and done there is over $30K into the car, without going into the cost of the car itself and maintenance...that is to say:


$30,000+ IN MODS ALONE!!!!

To those who are wondering, I met Jeff at the JP Importz meets we used to do all the time in Garland. That was back in my ES 250 days. Wow...we are getting old Jef-fa-fa...


God help us, the mod bug has bitten all of us...we are doomed.
















Cant imagine a better way to eat it tho!
