My Final Update
Ended up selling my Greddy twins because I lost interest in running a TT setup on a stock block and received an offer from a local shop to buy the kit that covered all my losses from my previous kits. (HKS GTRS, PowerLab) This all happened in January this year.
Then in February I ordered a GTM Stg II TT kit with a plan to build the motor, but within a week of that I found out I would be transferred to Dallas, TX for the rest of the year. Sam and I ended up working something out and cancelled the order.
Now forward to May, I’m no longer in Texas and back in Colorado. Thankfully I’ll be moving back to my home state of Arizona later this year! So I just decided to do the Vortech thing and use the extra money I had for the motor build on some JDM goodness. The car will be slow, but it’ll be dripping in JDM rice!

This will be the last update to the car for awhile. To be honest I’ve really lost a lot of the interest I once had in it. It’ll probably rarely even be driven but it is what it is.

How about $500 and a hug?
Thanks man. Your build is going to be awesome.
Thanks man, especially coming from another uy.
Pssh. At least now I'll be able to drive over to Intense and look at your car.
Thanks bro.
Tell me about it. What's the status on your update?
Thanks Waizzz, haven't talked to you in awhile. Hope everything is going well.

We'll have to setup a man date.
Thank man! I'm sure you'll find a Vortech soon.
Thanks Willeee.
Lol you're crazy Andrew. My ARC V2 will always remind me of you.
Has anybody mounted a V2 can with a Vortech? Looks like it might be a tight fit.
