i gotta stop reading ur thread...sellers remorse.
The track whore transformation is complete! I love the naked carbon fiber door skins!
I'll be honest...Every used part I bought eventually got swapped out...I spent so much money on the back end for decisions I made so my build cost me dearly. Had I done it right I wouldn't have needed a second trans, second turbo, second bottom end, second intake, exhaust etc...It doesn't matter now but hindsight. If you ever want an ffe manifold I can talk to Ed and see if he'd cut you a deal.
No, don't do it. Weight in the back end of the car is beneficial.
