So this year has been a tough one for me, from ka to ka-t, i’ve just been having nothing but bad luck in part buying, and timeing on its own.
But finally i’ve decided to throw in the towel and just use the money and put it towards something actually worth it. Im sick of having these tedious problems that you can NEVER figure out. Honestly, i’d rather have a big problem like a turbo seal, or manifold crack or something big than, something as stupid as a leaky injector, a vacumm leak, or even timing.
With help from some VERYYY good friends and a weekend to husstle we agree’d there was no better time.
So, I went out and bought an RB lol
Why rb20 you ask? Well, l’ve always been facinated with the rb motor and just how strong it can be. Not to mention it has become rarer than most sr swaps, as good as they are, i felt it was just something i wanted to do.
Lets not forget how much we love the way an rb sounds haha
If it wasnt for some incredible friends this would have never happend. I’d definatly like to thank Ted (Heatw), Steve (G.T.R), and Jordie (Dolph_KYAS13). Some of the coolest guys around, and definatly a great help when it comes down to it.
So enough with the talking and i’ll throw down some pics of the car and the incredible team to put this all together.
As funny as this may sound i thought it was pretty significant, seeing as how this insect is known for good fortune and great prayers…

And thats pretty much it. I havent taken a final pic of the motor only because i’d like to clean her up a bit and make everything all perddy.
Well, although I enjoyed my rant, i hope you do aswell.
And lets PLEASE keep the motorset rivalries to a zero lol
Also, if anyone needs wireing … GO TO TED! He is the man, i watched half of transformers and ate some pizza in the time he took to completely re-wire my harness and make it look all jazzy. Hes da man!! Steve is also the man, he finished up some minor details while I was at work just because hes an ultimate guy and a great friend!
Again, thanks to everyone who helped.
