derryck, I really don't want to cloud up this thread with your inability to follow thread.

Like I said before, I made the comment about "Speed Crap." And again , sorry for offending you. For my defense there were many threads that support the claim that "turbo manifold from Speed craft doesn't look to impressive." as you said yourself, that Speed Craft made business decision to go with simpler design to make fabrication easier. Fine, that's great.

If you don't have anything positive to add and want to argue about this, what I think is mute point, please PM me.

Thank you.

P.S. Vertigo-Pro, I apologize for making your thread bickering match. Looking forward
to seeing your finished project.

I don't see where I said anything negative about the Vetigo-Pro set up... in fact I've stated more than once that the header fabrication is very nice work. Turbocharging a car is not rocket science... the abilitiy to fabricate stuff like the manifold, exhaust, charge piping, etc. is what sets shops like Vertigo-Pro, Speedcraft and Stage 6 Motorsports above the rest. Not all 'performance shops' have the ability or know how to fabricate such pieces. Like I said before... I'm all for somebody doing their own thing but there is no reason to put others down while doing... that's all I'm saying.

Vertigo, we all have something in common, and that is that we think your manifold is great piece of orginal design. I myself have not the talent nor the knowledge to be able to fabricate or design something of this magnitude therefore this is of high interest and anticipation for me. Please keep us updated on this project. You might even make a new thread combining all your other threads as a update.

Check this thread... I'm currently out of the country for now, I Just Visited Japan, and Now in Taiwan. If you every go to Japan, You need to stop by a Super AutoBacs store... Its like a High Performace Pep Boys. Turbo kits, HKS, Greddy, Mugen, Spoon and everything you can think of. Its like a magizine but with everything already there on display. I think its actually larger than a PepBoys, well its like a PepBoys but 2 stories. Anyways, the Kit is already done, however I'm in the process of finding a company that will help me produce. I should have dyno results when I get back to the states. Probably mid Dec.

Oh guys,
When I was in Japan. I took a tour of the Tochigi factory. The Birthplace of the Honda Insight, NSX, and our pride n joy.... the S2000. Thats right... I was there to see how our cars were made. So many S2000 were in production that day. I saw the NSX type R (only available in Japan). Did you guys know that our cars are manually painted? S2000 and NSX are not painted by machines. I wish I could post up pics, but the Tochigi Factory didn't allow any pictures to be taken. I have a brosure though that I will scan and post up when I get back.
