I read through the whole thread over days. Here is a guy pouring tons of time and money into a project he is learning on and documenting the process in a stream of consciousness output.
I think most people have a few similar stories and definitely make different choices but his build isn't that far removed from most. He just seems to be brutally hones about his ruckus and process with little apparent care for showmanship, structure or organization. I'm guessing there is no build book, notes, spreadsheets, failure tracking etc and that it's all just held in memory.
I like it but like everyone would like to see dyno numbers. I can't believe the frantic work and changes just before each dyno day. It's like the process of validation prior to an extent is undesirable in Fae's world.

As for the validation, welll i would have dynod this a while ago but there have been setbacks and also other things in my life.
Here is a pic of my badass new oil drain materials.

I was commuting a long dostance while gettig paid bank for this old consulting gig. I got sick of driving my shixbox.
I saw some video of a ferrari pulling a "driftig u turn" and was like ooooh. Wanted a RWD car and wanted it to be driftable and fast. Allllllllmost bought rx8. I still think that car handles beautifully from the factory. Trounces stock miata.
Got tired of losing "races" to priuses and researched boost ... Wanted to do my own work cus why should i pay someone else to *** it up when i can *** it yp myself??? ... The end.
