i put the Engine code for the 2.7T, some know it, some dont. the guy has some crazy hours into that thing, id love to see it up close… it could be a 4.2 v8, or the junk old school 3.6l one… still not the right engine, but a cool car. it definently needs the destroked 2110cc in it. > [@WTBorrow: 2 1/8" socket and Impact gun](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtborrow-2-1-8-socket-and-impact-gun/16862/14): > > ahh man, atleast put a **APB** in there if youre not doing a 5cylinder… the V8 doesnt do that car justice… still an awesome build, but c’mon! > [@FS: 99gsx and 95 m3](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-99gsx-and-95-m3/16899/33): > > yeah, or a 1.8t or **2.7t.** Proven motors, but they just dont fit the build at all… I would like to know what V8 too…just the basic 4.2 or something else internally. Hardly any technical information on the build at all, but it’s tagged and running on the street and that’s an amazing feat. > > The front bumper is all metal too. It’s some serious craftmanship in that that car. I can’t imagine the hours gone into it. I suspect that the body guy is Italian. I say that as his technique of multi-plate panel fabrication is oldskool Italian Fiat/Abarth/Lancia style bodywork technique called sculpting…very rare to see it around anymore. Like leading bodylines vs using plastic these days type of rare… > > Never the less, this is an amazing build even if it’s just the visual extent of it. The extractors(if real) are HUGE money. Even making a replica inst cheap. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/now-here-is-something-i-respect/243471)._
