You know.....I got privately....a rash of sh*t from the last can-bus guy......actual threats as well.......because....i guess his product could work......but im treating this whole build thread.....I guess..... the way a news reporter reports the news......just telling it like it is......blow for blow.....ups and downs.....have made many friends along the way......and have lost friends along the way.....have also it seems made enemys as well.........the sadest part is the fall out with Vorshlag......who even though we dont talk.....I continue to praise their work......why you may ask even in my opinion on a personal level they did me wrong..... and please,please,please trust me it was only personal......one could argue on either side ....Im big enough to say there is their side of the story as well.....and maybe I deserved it........I would like to believe I didnt......on any account its in the past......and what matters is FLAT out these guys are complete pros and with a ton of research you will not find a better one stop shop place that is better for engine swap conversions....NONE.....so going back to this thread i have hopefully made this thread as a guide for those to follow in my footsteps and to pursue this with no snags with honest reporting of results......the last piece of the puzzle has been solved......only one thing remains for me......sway bars.....two ways i can go with this......leave them off and play with spring rates.....which will further diminish streetability and make the car lean more towards race car.....or ditch my awesume long tube headers and go with the OEM location for the bar.......track day is coming up to prove the car on track.......its been a long and trying trip.......little caveat.....I own two cars.....the FRS.....and a 2013 Mazda Speed3,.....the Speed has nonracing comfortable seats.....nice stereo....Bose speakers....good gas mileage staying off boost..kick ass airconditioning.....very fun to drive in itself.......it was in the high 90's all last month........guess which car Ive been driving an half an hour one way each day to work?... rain or shine blistering Texas heat
.......cant stop driving the FRS...pick those keys every day LOL!......got to double check but Im pretty sure im approaching 8k trouble free miles running the Vorshlag conversion.....only addition non Vorshlag was a oil cooler.....yes you will need one.
