It seems like every time I talk with him about it the number gets a little higher. So I have been trying to do some research on my own and I feel like the best medicine for me is leave it alone. There is no doubt that anyone can drop an engine in and make it run, but no gauges, ABS, A/C, Heat, etc. Basically, it becomes a track car, not a daily driver. Mine is a DD and would want it to drive as it did before.
Your build is going to be so nice, great motor, the CD009 is a smooth transmission and PureAutomotive parts. I am excited to see this completed, keep up the good work.

I totally agree. Not having every feature working just wasn't on the table for me. Otherwise I wouldn't have used this chassis. If you just want something with a 2jz you don't need to put it in a BRZ to do so.
I appreciate the kind words! I'd like to think i'm more towards the side of quality on my build but the reality is i'm somewhere right in the middle. I skimped on a lot of things I probably shouldn't have.
