I am taking tonight off then raping it more tomorrow. I ordered new rotors today because I suck at not buying everything lol. Also I am thinking of running nt-01’s as my street/track tire so I can save from having a separate set of track wheels and tires. Anyone have a better plan? right now I have 16 tires and 14 wheels for this damn car. I would LOVE to get it down to 4 track/street wheels tires nitto nt-01’s 2 drag wheels/tires et drags 2-4 wheels I can mount some meh tires on for if I want to try some drifting(nothing srs just some fun) ---

[frustration]Anyone thinking of doing a build like this ever I urge you to not do it. I swear I am so bitter on how many things have gone wrong with this build that I am going to sell it once done. Anyone want an ls1/fd?[/frustration] Basically I have spent 10hrs trying to make my new headers fit. One is in but I am sure it will smash into the subframe once the car starts and the other…well lets say the best plan I have so far is to cut the floor out. Should have bought a 996TT like I had originally planned. FML ---

I’m a lot more envious of someone with an lsx swapped fd then a 996tt. Especially if they did the swap themselves and know the car like it’s part of their body. But once I get my millions from the Nigerian prince I invested in I’ll probably own both though. ---

I think I am dropping the front subframe to get the other header in. Its that or cut a huge hole in my floor. What makes me real mad though is you can tell that they are going to bang the subframe anyhow once running lol. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > the mounts are that flexible? What is the clearance like? 1/8, 1/4 1/2 inch? They are really not that flexible 1/2" maybe, and with the header thats in there, it hits the subframe when the motor is let back down. ---
