Haha agreed about the welding part, but then again, I'd have to also learn how to map an engine, how to wire it, and so many other things I'd have to quit my full time job LOL

Obviously your full time job pays you enough to not worry, lol

LOL. I hope to be there one day.

Fired up the digital display to see what it'll look like :drool: :drool:

This finished assembly of the drivetrain is looking good man (!_ . . . unconventional choice, but very unique. I kno drifters usually choose a larger displacement V8 VQ45 instead of turbo 6 . .

True, but I wanted a turbo engine and an MT and these engines were dirt cheap in the scrapyard. If I blow it, I can just snatch a new block for under $1k :)

RB engines also have better support in terms of mechanics & tuning

Dude... sam... I had no idea you were doing this. Im not very active on MyG37... so this is the first I am seeing it... Dude... No words... I want a video of that dyno when you finish up. Oh and if you have an extra money afterwards, you can do my car next :tup:

Haha I'd love to man! The extra money however is going into a forged bottom end and a GTX turbo ;)

haha! Im jealous man, you've always had a clean G. But dang brotha, taking it to another level!
