I will definitely keep this thread updated when I do anything, though I don't think I'll be doing much over the next month or so. Probably order the parts in the beginning of April to make sure I have everything ready
In terms of performance, it's pretty much a 20G with a ball-bearing setup. I personally couldn't justify the extra $600 for a 2.5R when I was shopping around.

On a side note, I don't think I'd ever buy anything from Blouch again. They constantly and consistantly ignore my e-mails.

Oh I didn't realize the 20G was journal bearing.

Have you tried calling them? I'm sure they have a phone number somewhere. Why is it that you're needing to get ahold of them?

That hockey stick shifter knob is so sick. I have a few broken sticks laying around, maybe I can fab one up! Do you have any idea how he did it?

Lovin the lip, Rapture. And still lovin the paint. So unique.

Yeah, guy was just a troll. I care not. People can hate on my car all day long, makes no difference to me. I like it (even though I didn't paint it). And when I paint it with my own color, and people don't like it, I still won't care haha.
