    yeah, what Joey said. he (Brian) has another 2 heads of mine right now. dropped off this AM.

    he does all the machine work for us to make >900 horsepower with a 1.8T 20v motor, i think he is quite capable myself!

    Take it here. This guy knows his stuff and he will make sure it is done perfect the first time. I'm taking my vr to be bored out there next week as well. He might be slightly more expensive than other shops but it is worth it.

    I would recommend a quick call to Matrix Integrated, I was talking with their lead Technician (Jon) and they found a guy in the portland area that has a badass engine bore/hone machine. It takes a 3d image of the bore to find any small differences in the cylinder walls and makes a 100% prefect bore. He had his race engine done and the price was very fair, the place may have already been listed above, but its worth call to double check. He was very happy with the end result and said it was hands down the coolest machining tool he had ever seen haha!

    i think thats m&b, i just dropped the block off there today, the guys there were pretty chill. 2 or 3 week turnaround then i can start putting it back together

    yeah, 3-D imaging, plateau finishing.... his Sunnen machines are workin like MAD!

    was there this morning too (@ M&B) to drop off some more parts for the race car. check the front fenders

    Brian also does, as stated above, all the motors for HorsePowerFreaks 1000+ WHP BMW's..... and has an Early 30's Chevy Tudor coupe as his project car. with a Tial 35R 2JZ Supra motor!

    Lol yeah he was telling me about that and I jokingly told him to put a vrt in it and he said people hate on him enough as it is for putting the motor that's in it now lol. Definitely a chill guy.

    yeah he gets it from all sies.

    the Import purist gays sayin it is in a Chevy chassis.

    than the hot-rod old school DOMESTIC ****, sayin it is sacrilege to do the 2jz in the Chevy body....

    he gets it both ways, but it is honestly a cool as hell swap!!!!

    and he even runs a couple of MY PARTS from my rabbit on it!!!

    the thing, it twists that chassis right up on a launch, and its still on street tires even. pulls air no problem!
