Heh. We work on a lot of class A mechanic’s cars. It’s downright scary. But yeah, we don’t do much routine maintenance stuff. Canadian tire is awesome. One class A mechanic sits upstairs in his office surfing for porn while a gaggle of first year apprentices run around the shop screaming “the sky is falling, the sky is falling!” No one wants to work at MSSC, the pay sucks, the hours suck, and you end up having to do things like turn a random box of parts into a Skyline on a weekend. I’m downright sick of seeing Skylines. Their owners flock together, and their cars all break! But at least they’re not broke like 240 owners 😉 “I’m gonna build a KA-T for like $300 man … watch me. I’ll be the fastest cheapest car on SON!” mmmhmm ---

meh i would rather have a liscensed mechanic do the work, but i’ll admit some liscensed mechanics are garbage. Find one that does good work, lucky for me I have one thats close to the family, his first sr swap was better than anyone elses around here, and charges the same as mssc… ---

burn! judge a shop by the work that comes out of it not the cars that are in the shop and not what people tell you they can do. just because a nice car is in a shop doesnt mean anything - it might have been nice when it went in there. ---

ty’s just a stupid poser who follows what people tell him, matt says “cookie cutter” a lot reffering to any car using mass produced aftermarket parts and believes my car to be a cookie cutter s14, despite the fact that there arent any s14 circuit cars like mine anywhere in north america. so ty is a cookie cuter ricer 🙂 ---

And as for track cars like Sandra, minus the ghetto gold paint and D2s, I’ve seen my share. Hell, we’ve got one in our latest issue LOL Cookie Cutter is an old term, don’t take it so literally. It’s always been the antithesis of a Hot Rod. Track cars make sense to be cookie cutter, you take what someone else has already proven and go with it. I have my own idea as to what someone’s car should be. Or rather what I do with mine. And that’s probably why my shIt doesn’t run. ---

actually there are 5 or 6 competition scca s14’s racing around the us… most are running in gt2 or gt3 however there was one that failed to start, running in gt1… gt1 being comprised mostly of ex trans-am cars as they fit the rules with the least modification from their current form. there are also 4 s13’s ( all coupes) running in the lower touring classes as well… as well take into account that these cars were at the runoffs so the level of competition that they are running with is far higher than any regional event. the best part of all… not a single s13 was running a turbo… KA-E’s… go figure lol the s14’s were running turbo engines however i was unable to determine what they were… lastly… 2 of the s14’s were a frontal tube frame design running a quick release 1 piece front clip. just some info… not comparing anything. i commend sasha for his accomplishments and would never consider his car cookie cutter… if fact if i were better funded i could see myself being in a similar setup and series to what sasha is currently in.
