    I'm not exactly into racing, but I'm a car designer and chassis engineer and currently I'm looking for finansing/business partner for my original design project.

    I have always had a strong interest in cars. I am working on a couple of grass roots events this summer in a hot market.

    I like innovation and technology. Diabla good luck with your project.

    Funding always seems to be a challenge. I have teamed up with some other organizations in the industry, this has been very helpful from the tech support side of things. Even though they aren't helping with capital they are helping skip all of the trial and error areas which will allow me to focus on growing and developing.

    I have an obsession with cars. Mostly imports like Honda's, Acura's, Nissan, Infinity, Toyota, Scion, etc. And not the riced out ones that fast and the furious wanna be's drive. I keep my cars clean with a front lip, rear lip, simple side skirts, JDM headlights and taillights, and a carbon fiber hood. Honda's, Acura's, Nissan, Infinity, Toyota, Scion, etc.

    I am currently building a ten second show and go Honda Civic SiR. Its a 1996 with the 1998 JDM front end conversion. The motor is a B16A second generation and is currently be bored and ported.

    Anyways, why do you ask? Do you have a business idea for the automotive industry. I did awhile ago but I put it aside to invest in Real Estate full time.

    What are you looking for? Are you interested in the compression ratio, or the build up itself or what?

    Cuz I could get you a list of parts that i'm dropping into the block and the head but if you just looking for the compression ratio, I'm going with 11.5:1

    Well, I can email you a list of parts but I will have to create it. I'm having a lot of the engine work done by Tommy Motor Sports but I will see what I can do for you. k?

    Well i would like to keep it under 450 because with the old air cooled Porsche's once you go over 450 you have to do the EFI conversion to get it to run correctly. That in itself is another 3k just for the conversion. Im planning on doing 450 and if its not enough ill bump up to 500-550 with new heads, the conversion and more boost.
