Fantastic thread, fantastic work.
Weather was unseasonably warm today so I tossed the driver seat back in. No carpet obviously makes for more noises but its exactly what I want from the car, a more engaging experience. I know my car wont be the fastest thing out there but I want the drive to be an experience, the entire package not just big hp.

Hi Spencer. Long time admirer of your thread, first time poster*.

Oh man, SVX engine with ITBs is going to be so, so good!

*unless I posted two years ago with something like "this is the best build on the forum!" or something and forgot about it.

Got the spare motor down to a short block, pretty obvious #4 big end bearing is smoked. I have to reposition the motor on the stand to break it down the rest of the way.

Interesting read. I haven't seen anyone putting EG33 in the FRS/BRZ... but one of my extended friend have put EZ30R into his GT86.

The EG swap really interests me but may stay on the back burner as I have more external motivaton to stick with turbos

I saw a video of that car revving in a parking lot and it's a big reason I got interested in going H6

The BRZ has taken a back seat to winter projects, literally I'm building a plow. Fairly simple, fix angle, winch up and down. All it needs to do is be better then shoveling my long driveway

Have you the ability to adjust the angle on that blade? (Pushing snow straight ahead is futile)
