I know a guy that put a 1.8 in a FC. He's going turbo... I'll told him i'll race him with my FB for kicks once he's done with it.

we can hate it together.

I'll never understand the boinger swaps but make sure you document it all...and FINISH IT!

Was this car white with Volk TE37 wheels on it?

And yeah, a 13b-REW with a single snail conversion, and motec standalone was recently done, very proper swap, and it was fast, too bad I cant find the build thread anymore, I think it was on ziptied...
