That's awesome! It would have been my pic too!

I knew you were making a big change but didn't know you did a new motor too. What was the reason for the change? That one was built and everything....

I didn't do anything crazy. Had a lot of parts and pieces spec'd out for a RB swap end of last year but decided it was not going to be worth it without doing the AWD. So 6MT swap was done in Nov.

Thanks man, wasn't really expecting any of that.

We started motor drop in Friday morning at 10am. Fired up at 6 or 7pm, fixed minor oil leak from turbo feed T and drove to HIN venue Saturday morning. Ha! Good thing I know my car so dam well, wire tuck confused Technosquare a little.
