Definitely! I remember reading his Kimini blog back about 8-9 years ago. Then checking up on the Midlana blog a few times here and there. Something clicked when I took my S13 out, and I thought about something new. It's been a great 13 year run, but time for new things.

Given all the scope on the build, I'm maybe leaning a bit more on the FWD VQ. If I can do 320-330 whp, maybe it'll be fast enough for me. I'd ideally like it to run a 10 sec quarter mile on r-comps (not drag slicks). So it'd need to trap probably around 125-130 mph. I don't drag race, just a general want.

I just worry about going to the FWD VQ and either popping engines or wishing I'd gone with the RWD HR variants with their much stronger bottom end.
