wish I could take credit for the plate but I purchase both of mine from a member on clubprotege.com Hopefully it works out great but I am along way from the toyota box swap. Just gathering parts for now.

my 75 911 and 3 914's. These were my passions but I got a job on the wetter side of my state and needed to get something a little more practical. I chose mazda, A) because I had had a 91 egt in highschool and B) because they seem to share porsches(aircooled that is) philosophy of good handling and lightweight. I still have all these cars but I had to leave them with my parents for now. Im looking to buy a house in the next 6 months so hopefully I can have them all on the same property some time soon.

Hory shiet, you are reading my mind! I actually would like to do that pretty soon, but as stated previously, I need to get them over with me. Kits are becoming quiet cheap to do this, 1/4 turn fastners with full fiberglass fenders would be a fun build, light and cheap. Some day soon.

^ thanks, The escort has been the first car that I built start to finish. It was fun and a good learning experience but I am ready for some next level awd shiz and to get my porsche projects back under way! Still considering a miata for the wife if she'd give up her damn corolla.

Numbers wise, I a planning to max out the vj23 on the gtr block, supposedly it's a 350-ish who capable set-up, we will see. The other Bp I am building is getting all my forged pieces plus a bp4w head, may switch to a vvt, Holset hx-35 and custom intake and exhaust manifolds. I want to max it out as well and get something like 450 awhp in the gtx. Wish me luck!
