DON'T! I've got too much on my plate and things keep popping up! Right now my FC is back on jackstands for a few "minor" things
The Landi is still here and I haven't TOUCHED that in about 6 weeks
The 'vert is still waiting for my loving yet "forcefull" touch
The FD is covered in little helicopter seeds and the first thing I need to do when I get started with that PJ is build a "frame" dolly and a hydraulic rotisserie
My buddy is going to be bringing his FD over so we can pull the engine, paint the bay, do some repairs and more modifications
I want to get the boat out of storage
aaaaaaaannnnnnnddddd I'm working 6+days a week and 10+hrs each day.... I need a clone...

That's something to be proud of right there. Tools are great, space is key..... I've found that cars are much more compact when you don't take them apart

Dont tell anybody, but I am getting tired of all work and no fun with this damn car

Yeah, the stock ducting leaves alot to be desired, that's for damn sure..... That's kinda why I ditched everything and started anew. I've found that ducting is key...... And each heat exchanger having it's own source of fresh air is key as well. The exit speed of the air after it passes through the exchanger is abysmal, so having an uniterupted flow is trully beneficial.
I think I'm going to try an A2W setup on the next engine that I build... especially since I'm looking for a stock TII pull-out and I'll be using the stock TII TMIC but with some mods done to increase the flow through it... I'll also be using the Atihun hood that is upstairs in my closet sandwiched between the Landi hood and the carbon fibre Atihun hood for the FD.... yes, that's right, there are currently 3 hoods in my closet.... before DGRRXI there were 4
