Re: My interactions with what seemed to be a local ricer.
I saw a twin-turbo 4cyl on cardomain, pictures and all. But I always call BS on everyone giving me a story like that.
The only time I ever pay anyone to change my oil, is when other things are involved that I don't know how to do (adjust valves, etc), or don't want to (change diff/trans oil, etc). I'm not paying $40 for someone else to.... I'm too broke!

Tensioner (only used for about a year) gave out, timing belt jumped hard, total valve train carnage.
Got a set of these waiting to go on (hopefully this weekend.)

Theres this kid that goes to my school, he has a 3000gt. He got a VR-4 swap done at millenium. He one time claimed that he was pushing 400 to the wheels with stock everything. except some HKS couplers hehe. within i think 2 weeks, his brand new clutch broke.
we always gave him shit for claiming a whole bunch of bs.

Re: My interactions with what seemed to be a local ricer.
the guy bought a RHD front clip and got it shipped to MRD.... and they swapped motors it was a JDM twin turbo VR4 motor.
i was still working there when this came in..... i didnt see the outcome of the swap/car..... doubt they even dyno'd it because that would have required going to keenan's
saw the guy at a meet in NN and he said his rear diff blew or something.....
