    That's because most people on here don't care to, or know how to read.

      I've been following this since the beginning so if you don't want to read the whole thing here are the cliffs:
      • Funfgan starts the build thread with the intention of doing a m60 swap.
      • The usual r3v comments start along with both people criticizing him and defending him.
      • Much later, funfgan bumps the thread with news that he will be doing a ford 5.0 swap instead
      • Various negative comments are made on how he shouldn't do the swap, criticizing his car and how he won't ever complete the swap
      • The comments escalate to personal attacks
      • There are now both people hating on him and people defending him while at the same time making fun of the people who were making fun of funfgan.(namely jafxod and lolcantturn)
      • Now 2 sides clearly emerge which are primarily east coast locals and it turns into NJ vs MD with funfgan's friends on one side and jafxod's friends on the other
      • The thread devolves, complete with image macros, images of funfgan, jafxod, and lolcantturn and parody avatars and sigs of eachother and their worst e30 related pics including jafxod's fishtank heaterbox and his ghetto gauges and funfgan's toolbox-speaker-box and his drifting fail.
      • Eventually and surprisingly, everyone starts to stop the personal attacks and it evolves into more of a chatroom with smalltalk and everyone getting along.


      That was actually a mighty fantastic run down.

          It was $30 shipped. You can most likely sell your ps stuff to make up for the price.

          Also, I had my nearly 200lb brother sit on the front of my car when I first tested the car with no ps. Obviously I wasn't moving, so it was harder to turn the wheel. With the extra weight up front from my brother I was almost at the weight of a 302. It still wasn't bad.

                      The funny thing is, you're one of the few that actually made some serious comments :)

                        remember when 15x10 949's you're gonna have to run a tire with very little contact patch..just cause you can slap a 10 in there doesn't mean you will have the appropriate tires to fit.

                          235/50's are what I'm planning on running. Thats some pretty good meat for the wheels.

                            Get a professionally done fender roll job, as in, start pulling those shits. I assume you've already upgraded your diff to a medium case.
