I had the pleasure of meeting Charles and seeing the nickies at the FFC. These are T.H.E. cylinders for your 914 or bus or VW. Super super product. The attention to detail is spectacular. (And I look for this in everything).
Charles is a super nice guy as well. If I ever redo one of mine it will be with his stuff! M |

I have used 40 sets of them and every single time I have been more than pleased.
Even the first set we ever tested impressed me. Mueller, edit your first post- Too much info. |

Guys, I helped build the first ever "Nikkies" equipped T4 motor (Shad's monster) and held Jake's first set of cylinders in my hands.
Charles (and Shad) are the nicest bunch of guys you can find, good businessmen too. Heck, I let them both crash at my place on their way to a show! Guys, when you hold these, you'll get an erection with a giant cheeseburger on the end. They're unreal (the cylinders). Later, Tom |

I have held the smallest Nickies and the largest ever made as well....
I"m very happy to have been a part of the development of these parts and the guy that dropped the hammer on them for the first time on the dyno! every time says "Those are so damn expensive" I just laugh, because they have no idea just how awesome they really are. An engine with these cylinders has more potential than anything else on earth! I have seen head temps drop 100 degrees with their use! |

I was going to....cylinders had already been sent out for the plating....no big deal as long as I can still do a 78 or 80mm stroke with the smaller 94's.....the smaller bore might actually help..... |
