hehe, i wish i could stay away from ditches and curbs. So far i have killeed 3 curbs, and 1 serious ditch. And DSMJim, i would have kept the DSM if it was AWD, but it was only fwd. ANd as far as the swap goes, here's the deal: a 2.4L KA24 motor has a longer stroke, weaker rods, shitty pistons and a horrible flowing head. I would have to build the motor completely if i wanted any more than 260whp, because the stock 9.4:1 compression on weak parts will only handle 7-9psi. Meanwhile my swap runs 17psi all day long, and i am not nervous at all about breaking anything. All of my buddies that went with the KA-T setup blew there motors quikly and were always paranoid to drive it hard. I flog my car on a daily basis and love it!
And a well prepped RWD will cut just as good 60's at the track. In drag racing AWD only has an advantage on the streets. However, i really dont care about drag racing, i am not building this car for drag racing at all, all i know is this thing is 10000x more fun to drive everyday! 

Forgive me.
) is really clean and very well built. I always wanted to try my hand at drifting, but choosing a car has been the hardest part for me. I wanted to go with an AE86, S13-hatch with the Silvia front end (Sil-80), or another car (my secret receipt)
I'm having problems downloading the codec to watch the video. But I'm working on that. The last pic you got is the hotness.

Its been an interesting ride.
