Doesn't matter. I helped put together my friend's LS1 FD - I'm going to do the same after I buy a house. As long as you love the car, it's all good with me!

Ah yes, I've had no issues, then again I have an alloy which is far lighter

I wish I had an aluminum hood. But then I'd have to get it painted and my friend who painted my car got fired from the paint shop he was working at. No point paying full price to get a lighter hood painted when I have about 300lbs of stereo in the back.

Edit: NOT an LS..... Ok, u can make it a shallow ditch lol. I just met a guy @ a meet who does 1uz fab, cool motors, with lots of untapped potential.

But still.....Brap or Die!

My car is about the least classy and most offensive FC there is, and thats how its intended, but the engine looked fairly normal, so I decided, as Ben from MAV Tuning had finished prepping the irons and housings, it was time to offend people with the engine too...

And yes, literally every interconnecting piece of metal on the engine will be in contrasting colours.
Felix Wankel is probably spinning (elliptically, maybe with a faint puff of blue smoke emitting from his a.hole) in his grave.
