it seems you are talking about two different things there.
Well, maybe more than two but they all relate to one overall issue:
If one wanted to build a Razor with a 4G63T engine in it, and wanted 350-ish horsepower with good reliability, what engine/trans would you look for to start with and where would you look for it?
EVO 4/5 JDM engine/trans packages are offered by importers for around $3000. Tokyo/Sapporo out of Canada have a better Internet rep than other importers, from the research I have done.
Trying to do my homework...
And yes, I'm the guy that just ordered an SLC, but the Razor interests me also.
Realize that after my stroke and subsequent divorce, I had to sell (among other things) my Viper, '66 427 Corvette roadster, and six motorcycles (one with 350HP, one with 210, one with 180, and three with a bit over 100.)
With the last payment to my ex behind me, a 100% clean bill of health from my doctor, and sales of my book and the gun I designed taking off, I'm a bit like the guy that just got released from prison who discovers there's a bunch of cash in his pocket and a brothel just down the street.
And for those who are tempted to ask if I am comparing Fran's RCR facility to a brothel: Yes, I am.
A really good brothel, filled with supermodels and gymnasts...
