Might have to go back to NA.

What do you think?
Ugh, that sucks. They really tune wrong or was that just when the motor went? If you can swing it, I'd try and do a cheap build on it-but I know there really is no such thing. Going from the 210 to 335 is a price tier, and building with the 335 is another. Let us know what you do.

Fucking sounds great brother.
No on the built motor, I had this mentality: "If it blows, that sucks, but rebuild with improved parts." However, I sold the car before that. I only put a few thousand on the 335+motor, and had it tuned as safe as you can, along with only e85. Only time it was ever really pushed hard was at a trackday, it was 75-95 that day.
