      Pretty cool to see these in print.

      S3 magazine. The only place I know that sells it around here is Border's though.

            LOVE the work that went into this, seriously amazing.

            I think that if the wheels were a different color it would make it look much better, and [as stated] if the tails were different it would give the car a much more finished look.

            If YOUR happy, then Im happy for you though.

              here's what you do...get me some drawings of your motor/trans mounts...I want one!

              Not sure if this has been covered, but if you had gone straight RB25 do you think it would have all been easier? Seems like you referred to using 25 parts a few times as a possible alternative, implicating it would fit easier?

                Oil pan and trans are really the only things. I just worked with what I had.

                          You made really good points on using what you had, was just wondering. Cutting and modifying the trans tunnel really seems like the worst part after figuring out the mounts...

                          Maybe an SR would be even easier?
