Correct, its a translation through Google of "front windshield". I figure, all of these people putting obvious branding like "Impala" on impalas and stuff like that, gonna change it up a little bit

you sir, made my week that much better.

btw - if you take out the "front" part and hit translate, its the same thing. Love how that language works, based on context lol. Either way -- its epic.

BBS just filed for bankruptcy because there are a lot of knocked off on the market. Even though Lexus, BMW, and other premium brands start using BBS wheels, it makes no different either. Damn knocked-off. I need CNC first.

The first thing I'm going to do when I get my FT-86 is put my Holset boosted 3SGTE in it. I don't really care what its going to take to do it. I absolutely hate Subaru flat 4's. I think they are one of the most unreliable motors to deal with when modding (Subaru guys don't even bother hitting me with your "They're super reliable/best motors ever built garbage", they are a hit or miss - most of the time a super miss.)

We're building a V8 Turbo Corolla right now, I don't think the FT-86 should be too hard to do, the hardest part is going to be the wiring, but even then I have a full AEM EMS to run the car off of. - http://www.worksterautoworks.com/Wor...r_Journal.html

The Donor Car :


The Donor Motor:


Unless my mind changes by the time this thing actually comes out, I'm set on doing this.

You have more money than I do if you're doing all that :P seems like a waste to the MR-2 instead of seeing what the flat-4 can do in the car.
