But something tells me your gonna need to buy another Daily! this one will be gettin the Mod infection soon, since your in this Forum .... Oh ya ! ............. welcome
I am in process of building my GTE 6 speed SC at this time.
Been gathering GTE parts for 6 months after GTE swap.
Anyway, I will have many GTE parts like intake, mainfold, intercooler, turbos, ECU....
I might NA-T or GTE swap my GS depending on whether I purchase 3.4 stroker or just build existing bottom end of SC.
I would probably do something after completing my SC & FD.

Well, let's keep this between us.
My wife will freak if she finds out about GS.
I told her I am buying GS as a daily driver.
I am changing wheels because tires are worned out.
You know how that works...

Thank you.
Not my FD. It's in top shape after blowing it twice.
Just cannot get away from the intoxicating rotory sounds through 4 inch exhaust.

yeah i know what you mean i went through a handful of 2mm apex seals before finally settling on 3mm seals. but your right the sound of a rotary was incredible. even better was a uncorked rotary
