chip foose used to work for boyd back when he was learning the trade, so there would be a few things chip picked up from boyd.

The workshop supervisor on american hot rod is a farkin tosser. That bald guy with the goatie thats always winging about some shit

What the hell?? Boyd Coddington sucks! everythings so rushed, 2 days to prep and paint a car!!

He fires anyone for looking at him wrong and he's got no one to work for him.

Chip Foose all the way!

well working nights and not having foxtell i have to deal with what i can see on DVD etc

boyds cars turn out HOT but yes you feel he cuts corners too much to get them done.. OR they just make it look like that to make for better television..

you cant say the finished products aren't awesome hot rods

-- same with the old monster garage series .. did the main work in 6 days.. but then the is time taken off camera to make them look neat .

54 chevy and the old skool wagon in the last episode.. they are tight

who is this Chip Foose, what show are the cars from.. the Cuda i think might have been rides.. from what i have seen/read before

Chip Foose is an Awesome Car builder. They've showcased afew of his cars on "rides" before and they're unbelievable. Although I dont particularly like Boyd I have to give him credit for hiring a few mentally challenged people (his son is mentally challenged).

Anyhow That 32 is niceeeeeee.

heres some more foose for your juice.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
