Nico,

You've heard it right... As promised we are selling our 2004 HCI Mag. Project Car/ Demo Car to make way for our 2005 project car...

This car will be featured in the 01/05 issue of HCI magazine, due in bookstores next week! Go get your copy and show your support!

So, somebody is going to get a magazine car for christmas!

Bidding will begin Monday, November 22 on Ebay...

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with our 18 corporate sponsors on this latest creation...

Most importantly, I wanna thank McKinney Motorsports for doing all the fabrication, motor swap, etc on the car... Without you guys, the industry wouldn't be what it is.. You are truly a one of a kind.

Also BF Goodrich for their support. Getting to have our car in your booth over 2004 has been a great experience, and I look forward to dealing with you in the future!

I want to thank all those that have followed the car and posted their support. Thanks NICO!

Here are the specs on the car:

wow... whoever owns that car is going to be one lucky mofo...

how much are you looking at?

Post by **underground** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 4:10 pm

Bidding is going to start at $25K....

Not bad for a car that would easily cost over 75K to replicate due to time, testing, and fabrication expense/ labor that has gone into the build...

The car took 13 months to build...

Oooh R33 for 2005? Can't wait to see that! Good luck on the sale. Whoever buys it = one lucky guy

Post by **PGBrian** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 5:11 pm

still havent painted it eh?

Post by **underground** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 5:17 pm

To be frank, for every one person that says "Paint It", we've got 10 that absolutely love it...

It really is so much more amazing in person...

The two-tone color has kind of made the car unique, and I hope people will respect that...

To each is own...

ive seen the car in person, and i dont think the pics do justice, you really have to see it, looks great imo

Post by **f1seb** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 4:15 am

Will it come with a hood? Cause I don't think I've ever seen that car with the hood on in any pics or movies.

Post by **underground** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 4:18 am

Of course, it has a OEM Style Carbon Fiber Hood...

Post by **Silvia007** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 5:09 am

Damn, anyone knows who wants to buy a kidney to fund my chance at winning this car?!?

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 7:59 am

This car is absolutely phenomenal in person.

The color has to be seen to be appreciated, and the sound... good God. Amazing.

This is definitely one of a kind, and whoever buys it will have instant credibility on any track, at any show, in any meet.

Post by **NYCRB240sx** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 1:13 pm

i have to agree, the car really looks break in person i remember seeing it down at Mckinney's shop before the swap and after and it's just insane. so much love and care went into that thing. and thumbs up on the two tone. my car is the little sister and im going with a two tone just in a different way. anyone that gets that car has to role with me, haha. Chris your the man. wish i could have driven it before you get rid of it but o well i got one of my own soon enough. good luck to all that go for it

So did you remove the JE pistons and Carillo rods that the HCI article claims are in the car... or what?

Post by **underground** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 7:34 am

The pistons and rods were given to us, but havent been installed...

We listed them as a sponsor for their generousity...

When HCI wrote the article, they got the specs off our website, and assumed the rods and pistons were in the car since the companies were listed as a sponsor..

good luck!

i will say like everybody else has said . it look soooo good in person. i saw it at nopi national this year and it is a very nice car.

Post by **marshun** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 3:02 pm

*DROOL*

if i had the money, i'd take it in a heart beat.

but i'd really like to see my personal projects to the end. then after wards i'll think about buying a modded car :P

awesome car and i've only seen pics and read the specs!

Like it says in the auction, I hope the car goes to someone who will truly appreciate it, not some kid with rich parents.

Beautiful work and goood luck with the auction.

Post by **underground** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 8:22 am

The car will be traded next weekend going to a guy who saw the car on Ebay and made me a pretty fair deal on two of his cars....

Hopefully, he will come through and the trade with happen...

I pulled the auction off early...so we shall see....

Take care!

Chris

If that doesn't go through, i'll trade you my s-14 and my firstborn child he'll/she'll be hard working, I promise

I can't believe nobody even bid on it though, what 2 cars are offered for the trade? or would that give away the next project?

Post by **underground** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 9:12 pm

I was offered a 94 T-78 Supra and a 96 RB25DET 240SX...

As awesome as the RB 240 is, I will enjoy playing with something new...will give me something to mod...

Post by **accel junky** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 9:45 am

Wow! Didn't know you were selling it....thought you guys had plans for a big single and built motor??

Post by **Jusepi97sx** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 8:37 am

bought the HCI magazine to read the article and thought it didnt do the car justice. For being so rare and such an incrediable car overall the article lacked emphesis on details, there really wasn't specs, left me wanting to know more. I guess what i'm trying to say is they could have done a better job with the writing.

gluck w/ the new projects
