twincharged

Ok, I need a show of hands from all the serious Hawaii mini enthuriast. Who would want to see, test drive and ultimatly owning a twincharged rocket. I am serious. Let's speak up now or drool later. I am thinking of doing a group buy and installed for only those that are serious. Other wise.

It's not my car!

Just saw one in the early stages of the transformation as parts were being stripped off. Lots of work being done to the car including the turbo, suspension and I dunno what else.

I had to pick something up and got to peak into the ESM Skunkworks Lab today. The car was up in the air waiting for BIG wheels (had BIG tires lying around) and the engine bay was almost empty waiting for the above to arrive in the next few days. This is going to be one crazy car! :impatient

BTW, I got to see ESM's "real" work too. Big scale project for one of our famous local surf wear shops. I saw the blueprints and they are renovating their whole interior and Mr. ESM is doing ALL the cabinetry - nice work!

(sigh) that's why you didn't respond to my 5,000 e-mails delivered at the rate of 10 a second today.

Sounds like the ESM Green Beastie 5000 GT is going to be one bad ****!
