white and whiter
i found it at any meet there's always someone stuffing the LS6 into something jdm or euro because the engine is small and light weight.
last time i saw one stuffed into a e30 M3 and a RX-7

I have more... should've used my fisheye lens but got side track talking to friends.
So today, hopefully Jerry calls so I can do my tune and then I'll do my differential install after a quick nap, running off of 4 hrs off sleep.

heres a post of the car today when I went to go get tools for the swap. I'll have to do it tomorrow since I was kinda running around looking for what I needed. Also here's some pics of my new shallow mount Memphis Audio sub, only 3" mounting depth needed for it. Audio for my car is almost done, got all my speakers and sub, now I just need a new HU.

My audio craving has finished lol just got me a good deal on an Eclipse AVN6620 w/ the IPOD kit. So I'm done with audio buying, onto performance and more performance mods.

nice man! you should do what im doing performance wise. bore out your throttle body a few mm, consider getting a valve job, and look into a larger intake manifold. you could also throw in a spring booster just for fun =]

Very Nice! Hopefully I'll get to meet up with you soon for that sub... of course it looks like it's going into a new ride!
