Sexy car with a beast of an engine.
Only thing I don't like is the untuned sound of American cross plane crank V-8s.
Does anyone make flat plane crank kits for LS motors for less mass and that hair raising sound of an engine working in harmony or do you have to start with a race/European v8 for that?

No, not that I know of. The car sounds pretty slick with the heads/cam and Magnaflow exhaust. I have a cutout installed for when I want to "crank it up to 11". Here's a video of the build and some racing footage (drag, autoX), you can decide for yourself on the sound

Thanks Juan... that's your 'stage 2' brake kit, by the way! Yes, my next big purchase over the next few months will be coilovers so I can bring the front up just a bit.
I had the same question until I noticed the passenger side was higher than the driver side.
Hummm, I've had three FD's and never had a hood issue
I'm guessing your hood doesn't like what is under it

The one I had turned out to be a real piece of ****. I spent way more in a year trying to fix the thing than what I paid for it, and it wasn't cheap to buy. Still ABSOLUTELY LOVED every minute I was able to drive it, and i'll 100% buy another one some day, but things just haven't worked out financially as of late. I've been un-employed for over six months now, and trying to find a new job in a new state hasn't been easy so far either.

Are you on stock manifolds? Magnaflow is known to be on the quiet side and yours is a tad bit loud.
I was going to get a magnaflow catback for my goat but it was too quiet. I went with a spintech instead lol. Its loud but talk about drone city lol
