which was a good thing, bc now when you run into issues of any kind, you simply build/fabricate your own parts. Your beginnings have done you well, if you ask me!

also you may want to look at the rules of the racing organization you want to compete in before you wind up in a pitfall of ineligibility.

Depending on what sanctioned racing series/league you plan on running, i would HIGHLY advise to look into the LS swap for the FD. It only weighs about 20 or so pounds more than a 13B-REW but makes 3 times the torque which makes the car FLY at corner exit speed. There's a list of why it's better, and there's a list of why it isn't, which just goes back to "removing the soul of a car" . . . answers from a buncha phaggots if you ask me. An LS would make more sense than an F22 would in an FD to boot. more useability.

that being said, I love man-flesh and still have a 13B REW in my car
