oh shit this is gonna be a monster

[Hey_You]

Brakes are over rated, so is registration. Just pack a parachute to pull once you've ditched the po'po

Got it running, It needs brake rotors and registration before i can drive it.

What's up guys. Just wanted to share my build with you guys. This has been posted on a norcal e30 forum and a norcal ford forum. Lmk if you have any questions or comments. Goals for the car is to get on the track and try different things; auto-x, drift, and hpde.

I had it running for a week or two then the motor took a dump. Didnt really like the layout of the first build looked sloppy. This time around I'm keeping it cleaner.Coming back with boost this time. I'll try and keep this thread updated. Enjoy
