took me about a year.... i even harassed my contacts in japan to beg TOP SECRET to make me one... TOP SECRET agreed and even got my hopes up and crushed it.... :shakes head: they agreed to produce it for an extra $500 bucks but when they "lost the schematics" all that went out the window.... :( they said no we wont make it again

dude speaking as an electrician chances are the brushes for the motor in the dremel/grinders is not going to be an off the shelf item at HD. You will most likely just need to buy a new dremel :ugh2:



y pipe review sounds awesome. titanium exhaust FTW :tup: :yum:

you were correct i had to buy a new dremel..... :( i was suppose to to the cutting on the other side of the varis tonight but i got off late... the good news is i took my z out today and the side that was cut was a success it didnt get wet... the open side though however :shakes head: i had to run out during the heavy rain to pop my hood and cover my other maf sensor with a trash bag (since they are pointing straight up) not kool... ill try to make the cut tomorrow... my dad is leaving in about a week i believe so i should be able to have my machinist fab that adapter bracket :tup: im also gonna have him machine me a finishing spacer for my top secret knob... ;)
