They're going to need bigger rubber.
There goes the weight distribution.

From the article 52 front 48 rear for weight distribution
But I concur will need much larger rubber for that one

Prefer my steering wheel on the RIGHT SIDE...

Shame that Flying weren't the first to do this.

Perhaps they need to talk to him on how to get the gauges to work properly.

My current project for this year is to put an LS3 into an RX8. Bought one with a sad engine for very little and have since bought a brand new crate LS3, T-56 and engine, transmisson etc mount kit. Just need to finish another engine and then it is on like Voltron

... and add a pair of turbos
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
