I just got a $10,000 sponsorship, and want some pointers. Also, if someone can get me hooked up with a garage, it would be a huge help.

What type of sponsorship is this as well? Is this one of those were they contact you and want to sponsor you?

This is from carsponsorships.com. I have been with them for about a year, and over the weekend, i upgraded my membership. the 10k is for the sponsors that i will be with (they contract them for me, and negotiate others that i want) and is over the next year.

is there a kit for the vr6? i havent been able to find much for them, as far as turbo headers and all. Im also looking to get an intake manifold. The setup will be for racing, so nothing too heavy...

I would be really careful with this so called sponsorship. Usually places just don't give you a sponsorship for free and they certainly don't just hand over 10k of cash. At best you might get a discount or subsidized on some parts but you definitely don't just get cash.

I know what you mean. The sponsorship wasnt free, i still have to pay my fees. and the 10k is only through the site and with the sponsors that i am signed up with. At least this was what i was told over the phone. whether it is 10k in discounts, or whatever, i dont know. I went to my page where i have my sponsors, and looked up the membership. everything looked in order, but still going into this kinda careful.
still want some ideas though. :tup:

Ouch. Too late to get your money back I would assume too. On the bright side you will have a shit load of vinyl to put on your car.

And who is that guy? He is going on about who all those people are, well, who is he? sounds like some disgruntled asshole that wants revenge for something. i appreciate the caution, but i would much prefer a more creditable source.

Well can't say we didn't warn you though. Plus of all the sponsors listed maybe only a couple if that are decent. You will not be able to build a show quality car with any of those parts

And its highly unlikely you will do well at a car show with bolt on gizmos and you definately wont win any races, if in fact its going to be a track car.
let us know how it goes!
