    I found this channel from ChrisFix a few days ago; I binged-watched the whole series. I am sorry you had so many problems in the background; love it if you would share even verbally how you did the booster delete, cleaned up that engine even more, etc. I was stunned when you swapped out that transmission, the fit you had with the other one looked perfect. I get it, "in for a penny, in for a pound". Great job getting it together, hope you are still friends with all those who have helped you and kudos to your wife of course. Hope to see more of this car. It would be kinda funny to see that car driving around with door dings, old paint and the tape on the trunk lid with probably the cleanest, tightest underside in the history of 240s.

    This is awesome. So glad you finally got to hear that engine run!
    When she’s all finished, you should hook up with Brent at @PFISpeed and get her on the dyno! Could be a cool thing for both channels, and you’d have a beast tuned by the master!!

      You need FWD for winters? Here in Sweden we put weights in the back of our RWD old Volvos and send it! 🤣

    @panduastama 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 6:50 you can see it from the front of the car that the engine is slightly slanted to the right. Because this RB engine was designed for RHD cars, so the slant leave the space on the right side (right driver side, or left if look it from the front) to install brake booster, steering etc. Now he will facing the problem on how to put that parts on that tight space without being affected by the heat from the turbo.
