If I remember I'll try and do this!

Yep... still an excellent source for info, FB is just awful for searching.

Still at it

Currently rebuilding a BP with forged rods to upsize my B5ZE to BP in the AZ-3 with evo 8 turbo. Facebook has destroyed forums - FB as an information resource is absolutely useless.

Also have my RX-7 FD with a KLDE turbo

loving that suspension setup!

Better late than never. As usual do so at your own risk. It works fo...

Very tidy! I do the miss the sound of six!

Love it! Fantastic work.

Great work and perseverance! Keep up the good work.
