Well... It's official that the botton (with about 98% certainty) on my gas pedal was a nitrous button. I would definitely look elsewhere for motors (like Night or someone else) before getting a motor from them. I had assumed they were good since SCC mag used them. Between the nitrous button, the original trans I got from them, and an anonymous source that has said his RB25 was in poor shape when he got his... i'd look elsewhere. We all learn through experience and I want to help everyone on the board learn from mine. They did replace the bad trans and all... but I think the overall cond. and experience could have been better. From what I've heard Night supplies a good product at a good price... FYI.

Regards,Sig

Mine came with fenders... but this is probably b/c they were pretty trashed. I am going to use them to practice body work, so it's all good.
