looks tasty! How easy was wiring up the new VVt-i in there? I thought there was quite a few differences in wiring with the VVt-i and non-vvti. Any more power adders to look for in the future?

What made you decide to stick with the 5 speed over a 6 speed manual? Cool project by the way.

For one, thanks for the clarification. Second off, I am interested in the answer to the second part of the question from the TS. While going through that much work and some obvious expense I'm just curious.

Damn my main man D is back at the madness again!!!

This is crazy bro, you will NEVER EVER change! You have been embarking on monumental projects with this car since 2003 when I met you! (remember that night I saw you in the gas station on Flatlands and stopped in my Taurus?! lol).

Well if I saw anyone else attempting this, I'd call them crazy, but I know you. So I'll just sit back and wait for the completed, perfected masterpiece that will be revealed.

Are you going to do another R2D2 dash setup? lol lol lol

All the best D, God bless brotha.
