James made all my custom parts. Manifolds, plenum, IC tanks, etc. Just click on my sig to see his work....

Bummer is, I don't think he's doing much of that anymore... but.... I could be wrong. Give him a ring.

I actually know James too. He made me a manifold for my L28t zcar. He does really nice work.

I spoke to him about making a manifold for my RB and he seemed somewhat disinterested in doing it unless he had the car there (to insure fit).

James is a good guy and definitely knows what he is doing. I would love to have him make me one too.

Did a bit of research and found the page for Thagard. He has some sick work too! He does not appear to be making any parts any longer though :-\

I know he rocks a EVO now.

I know he doesn't seem to like to toy with much anymore.

I know he isnt in tally anymore either.

I don't think sean is around anymore either.

thank you for the kind words regarding the fabrication for the RB motors. I am currently in the process of moving and have been extremely busy with my day job so my projects have taken a back seat. I do have my current project, which is a RB26 powered 240sx. The motor is sitting at ENDYN (www.theoldone.com) with the head done and awaiting for me to ship the block to finish. It will be a single turbo (GT4245R) with a custom header as well as a custom dual plenum intake. The trans is a fully built ATI turbo 350 using an ATI adapter and converter. I have spared no expense on the parts for this project.

At this time I am in no position to do any fabrication.
