    ...but nothing even close to this. http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=224101

    You really need to read the whole thread. Some epic ghetto fabrication in there.

    I'm an especially big fan of the diamond plate airbox.

    Are those those... 'singh grooves' or something? Still reading the rest...

    I'm pretty sure, this showed up here not long ago. If it's the same guy, he welded together his own ghetto-fabbed clutch plate that he didn't see any need to balance.

    Yes! I've been following this on another forum. It pretty much rules.

    Yeah... nice mods so far... but there is no way this thing is going to get 900bhp. He just doesn't have the ingenuity of the legendary copex. There's just no way that turbo is going to capture enough energy out of the exhaust with so few fins on it.

    What is he doing to the head with that file??

    *omg, I just saw what he did to the clutch. I can't believe nobody tried to stop him. That's just dangerous.

    I wish I had enough money to be that dumb.

    Someone really needs to put those guys together with the shop that "installed" the body kit on that 350Z using wood screws. Preferrably in cement shoes.

    Read on to the NA build. I've never seen anyone lighten a flywheel by drilling holes in it.

    Too much to wade through--but what's the theory behind those "singh grooves"???

    My eyes literally went when I saw that head. That's an expensive experiment/butcher job. One would think there shouldn't be any doors in the combustion chamber.

    1.) What are the grooves in the head for? Is that a lead angle to head gasket failure?

    2.) Metal chips from valve grinding all over during assembly.

    3.) Notice any lubrication in the jugs when the pistons went in, see any after?

    4.) Removed the letters/numbers on top of the valves to eliminate "hot spots". Oy....

    5.) These guys are British, right?

    The more I read I realize this is definitely some kind of joke. The shop is too nice as are the cars in it.

    I read up a bit on these grooves, I feel like they are snake oil, but some people think they are the bees knees: http://www.jeremiahsviolins.com/grooves.htm http://www.herningg.com/singh/

    I think the point is to help gas escape the squish area better?... =/
