Targa tib is RavDav. I gave him step by step instructions on how to do it and how to properly brace the car. He didnt brace it, and it handled like complete garbage afterwards. But it was the only one of it's kind in the community, which was cool.

Summer is still around. Her car has gone through a few more changes though. She's still running on like 2 lbs of boost, and her nitrous tanks still are just for show.

Her car is strictly a show queen though and see's like 10 miles a year on the odometer.







Long is still around too, but his car has been sitting in a garage for years with nothing being done to it. I dont think the air suspension is working any more on it.

Onpol got rid of his car, but last I heard...him and Rafael are working together on a new RD but that was a couple of years ago. Not sure what the latest and greatest on the project is.

The rest is a mystery and probably out of the game or have been sold off to new owners. I was going to add some pics of Yuri's (Batlord) old RD, but that thing has been sold and passed around like a $2 hooker. Who knows where that thing is sitting these days.

I had Onpol's manifold for awhile until it got a nice crack in the weld. I then gave it to a friend of mine who patched it up and has it on his RD.



I remember all those people.



I'd love to buy Jaws' RD1 and have it as a daily driver.

I had an Onpol special TB and IM on my RD. Probably one of the best mods I ever did the car. Took awhile to get them back since they are out of the country but it was worth the wait. I also had a Random Special CAI way back in the day too before I got my Injen. lol

Most powerful NA RD for a long time (until Tdonnell finally squeaked by me).
