Any seen thus show yet? I haven't had a chance. Although I did meet the author on base a fee weeks ago. Seems like band of brothers but with Devildogs instead of airborne. I've read about Manila John and he was a 1st rate Bada$$. Is the show any good?

Awesome. I think I'll start it tonight. I don't know what I would do without on demand and my DVR. Haha.

Hi razi. I'm starting my build this week. It's so damn expensive. Haha. Just the little amount I've already ordered is well over 5k and I haven't even finished ordering for just the suspension, brakes, and rebuild. Haha. I'll post a thread when I get it all in. How'd you likethe one day paint?

Damn cars, so expensive to play with!

I like the one day paint, a little bit of orange peel, but if you get the highest "stage" I think they wetsand and buff it and everything for you.I got the 2nd stage, I'm pleased with it.

Make a build thread for sure!I like to watch KA-T build threads, and we can answer any questions you have with it.

I'm afraid it's just going to be a KA build for quite a while. Haha. Between coils, brakes, 5 lug, 5 speed swap, and rebuild and 2.6 stroker I've got my hands full for a while. But better done right the 1st time than blowing it up. Plus once I get it running like that N/A it should be fun. Then it will be time for the big T.

I just can't wait to get her a nice stance and a 5speed. Haha. Been Auto 4x4 too long. I'll probobly get it painted when I pull the Ka and send it off to get machined. That way they can spray my bay. I'm keeping it the stock green color, but I am throwing a Silvia front rear sides an spoiler on it. Just because it looks more aggressive to me.

Haha, I wish I had coilovers, I want to go lower!Sounds like a plan.Best of luck with the stroker! It's pretty much uncharted waters, I think I saw a thread on here by Ajax, I think he had a stroker. Not sure though.
