yeah they have motor building services for like 5-8k bucks but no where do you find any evidence of anyone running their set ups or any dynos or nothing.

Just did a search and couldn't find any TBR sponsored race cars. Granted, their merchandise looks to be top notch and of the highest quality, but their "builds" appear more like inventory assembled just for display rather than for actual working projects. They do have four youtube videos posted, but all are of merchandise with no video of anything they sell which is in actual operation.

I have more videos of actual real world running projects than they do, and I'm just a goof off!

You might have better luck looking for show cars, I don't think they actually race - you don't see an xB at the track very often.

There is sponsoring someone else who races and then there is actually racing yourself... and it doesn't look like they do either.

I was looking to find out if there was someone on youtube who had actually bought their products and was running them even if was just on the street. But I'll keep looking as I'm curious.

The guy seemed really knowledgeable and I truly enjoyed his informative input, but someone would eventually light the fuse and bang... all that's left is a blackened crater and collatoral damage.

Nice clean looking car!

It looks like you could be an ice cream vendor.

That was a low quote. I was quoted 18-21k when I had talked to them a couple years ago before I bought my turbo kit from Carlos and before they really rubbed folks the wrong way here. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt as I always do.
