Amazing! Going the whole hog -skimmed pistons etc, or just the thicker gasket for now? Got a turbo lined up or going for something more exotic?

Awesome dude, you driven it with the seats out yet?
It feels SO much more racecar with them out!
However, I find it induces me to drive like a bell end.

Still can't get over this. There is no more "swing" into the corners it just turns and is on rails!
If you are thinking of stripping, you won't look back 100% guaranteed

QFT!!!
It just makes the car feel alive... None of the dead feeling when you throw it into a corner, you know what's going on, you can hear every note of the engine... Perfection.

Because this engines f*cked, heads gone, fuel leak, 180k, so might as well do the swap as XUD is winning
