Ernie Loves to weld and he is always up for something new. So Ray's Cressida had a tight 90 degree coupler that we installed a wile back (pre kaizen days) but failed, so we made him a Kaizen SPL IC pipe JDM style! check it out! We can weld anything and are always looking for special projects. We say no to coupler piping! :biglaugh:

mmmm aluminium. we were initially going to just put a sharp 90 degree elbow welded to the intercooler with an additional coupler to mate it to the existing hardpipe. however ernie decided it'd be better to re-do the whole pipe instead, keeping the total # of couplers used at 4. ernie also box-welded my new rear control arms (ala MKIII supra style) which will beef them up significantly :)

Yes, the owner of the Rig is a good friend and he helps them out with transport, in fact all the new GTR's are transported in that rig from time to time. The Rig will transport the Kure S15 and other cars for D1. Jdmvigor will you be at D1 this weekend?

Here is a picture of Ernie in action at horse thief mile on Wed.

whoa ex-marine, thats badass :D I know I can trust a marine anyday. You happen to know a Sgt. Geisler, Eric while you were over in oki? I think he was a hachi guy too, and also a mk4 supra.
