hey man good to see you made a thread, also keep in mind the borgwarner s480 is exactly the same size as the s400 but it has bigger wheels also is rated higher and only like $200 more than the s400... go the s480

why? coz it was a near mint shell. everyone knows what kind of work a car needs to be properly painted black. i saw that car before it had even been run, it was spectacular. either way, build it this time dun sell it!
