wolliver 1 Report post Posted October 18, 2009 welcome! dropping in an rb would be so mint, was going to do this with mine, but saw how little room there would be in the engine bay with it in it lol, so am going with the 4g63t instead good luck, and welcome again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
