I think it takes a certain mindset to understand how much work went into this project. Most of the shit I have seen people rush through a project, big or small, break shit doing it and hack it back to together. Sure it looks nice from the outside but…are all the trim panels actually fastened to the car correctly or does one OEM clip, 3 drywall screws, and some 3M tape hold it on…? This build…Newman used Cable-Fucking-Clamps with Rubber-Fucking-Padding on his Hand-Fucking-Bent brake lines. I don’t care who works on a car. That much detail, which is one of MANY on this, is the bases on how that person works. Clearly they are thinking about Quality, Reliability, and are using the most basic human function…Common Sense. I know people will learn from this build. That is why I think it is so cool. If anyone hates on this…theys just ignant. Well Done Newman. ---

It’s just super weird paint.

Honestly I regret getting off on the wrong foot for many reasons. The main reason is I let him goat me into flying off the handle and losing my cool, he’s a pro at more than just engineering. 😉 I don’t care for some (ok alot) of his antics, but anyone that questions his skill level is a crackhead.

Looks good. I still think you should at least get a bar to protect that exposed FMIC. ---

If there was a 1" strip of flimsy bumper around the bottom of the intercooler, no one would say ANYTHING, but it’d be no more protected. ---

I had no idea those euroffgts were hating so hard. That thread had me laughing. Opinions are like assholes. We all have our own and they all stink. Personally, I thoroughly enjoy everything about the build. Would I go about things differently if I were start my own build? Absolutely. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences. That being said I really want to see this thing! ---

No it’s fine… it looks vulnerable to me too… but i think it’s just because you don’t see it like that ever, when it’s almost the same thing… The lip will hit about 1.5" before the FMIC does, tho… 😛 ---
