Title: Nickies
Post by: Russ on July 05, 2004, 08:08:34 PM: talking with a few people at the A&W show Danny had mentioned he might like to try a set of Nickies http://www.lnengineering.com/type1.html (http://www.lnengineering.com/type1.html)
because no one around here is using them,and i am here to hell ya i can't afford them so i might as well live vicariously through him. :D :D
in all honesty they sound great is all the talk good about them??
i would love to try them one day but 2000 us is a bit steep for me.
anybody know some one using them in a type one engine?

There are some great connections around Vancouver to be made for material and foundry work. I would head it up but I only like to play for myself since my time is limited. This is what I will be doing for my motor. Much cheaper, and easier to replace.
