Lets do it! Hell, you need to fly up here and visit Shawn and me anyway, Edafe. :P
I'm game.. lol
I would love to come up there and see what you and Shawn have cooking up..
Speaking of Shawn, everyone here is a little tease on what we are working on for my Endplates for the BCL wing. I am mocking up some designs now and Shawn is going to do his thing to make these things badass. Can't wait..
Judd car burnt down last year on the way back to San antonio from Houston due to chase bay harness. He rebuilt it fast though. You going to make lone star this year? Need some more fellow san antonio people going with! Lol also I put together like a whole team of videographers so we can start making fun *** drift videos in town. I can talk to them about maybe doing an episode with you car.

Yeah Judd car is sick.. Yeah man I will change out the harness later for something I feel safe with..
Yup I do plan on going to some Lone Star Drift events this year.. was trying to get done for Rd1 but prb wont be ready until Rd2..
**** my car is going to be stupid loud on the streets... lol but hit me up if you ever want to shot..
On a side note guys.. Just got in my tires for my DPE Wheels so going to mount them this week so I can finally lower the car to were I want it to be.. Then it will be off to alignment.. Also have something cool in the making for the rear overfenders..
took me two days to read all this, you crushed my dreams after you passed 10k, but then again your building a monster drift car. I have an oil leak no one can find, trying one more shop tomorrow, if it fails again I wanted to just swap the engine, was thinking of another vq, I just want something that is quick but not crazy quick that I can drive. but reading about all the money people put into the vq and blowing them up lead me to your thread. Not sure may have to cave and just sell the car like everyone is telling me to do, but you did inspre me a little.. congrats on all you have achieved..

Hahaha hope I did not crush your dreams.. So this build could have been done for a lot less then what I am paying..
You could easily do the whole swap for around 12k.. all you need is a good engine, Sikky swap kit, and a good wiring harness and a Tech gauge.. BAM done.. I could have done this over a weekend if you have all the parts ready to go..
Buuut my build is so much money cause I did not only engine work but full suspension upgrades and bought crazy parts like a $800 radiator.. So don't go off my build for price but just a idea of what it takes..
Now that I am on a computer. For sure I will let you know. I was planning on making round 1 but my stupid engine is not running. I have been testing a lot of **** and no luck. I am to the point I am about to pull the motor back out and put my 350 in it now. I just don't have cash for my transmission right now. :/
Might be able to make round 1 then. I still have to put my cage in before then. lol Got the car running though. Going to try to make it out to cars and coffee this weekend with a few friends that have R32's.
So no real updates from me really, car is just awaiting some parts to arrive so I can wrap up my brake lines.. At the moment all the front stuff is complete need to run the rear stuff now. After that is complete I can finally take it to the alignment.
For now tho here are some pics:
Also thanks for moving the page to the new Engine swap page..
