well it sort of is like i have had the head since 2008 i think i bought it for my self for xmas or many 07/08 i cant remember but it means alot to me i went from having everything as a 18-21 to nothing...and the turbo i bought with my tax return years ago then i meet a girl...was laning on going over seas with her so my account was adjusted so that 700 bucks went into savings so yeah have a look at my engine bay there is a trip to europe right there
i was going to slap the rb together then get either a rd28 or a another 30 then sleve the block and with either bloke add billet main studs and a custom girdle but i have always thought of adding 4 bolt mains even prior to seeing rips in nz producing them after contacting rips and asking them the price i think i would rather blow a few motors making my own then giving that bloke a fking cent
there is an old saying follow your dreams id like to remix it follow your dreams and dont let a girl get in the way
