      Yeah, actually, to make this more interesting. This is an air bag car and I found a way to use the original column. Well...I did have to do a little grinding and welding.

            Kaiser this is just for fun. I'm not sure where you can drift, auto x in EC. There is a strip just south of me so I do wanna go there.

            Do you do auto x or anything around here?

                We use to have 2 autox days a year, one at the small tech lot and the other at the larger. We recently lost the small tech lot due to complaints. So we're down to one super local event a year. Otherwise it's off to dctc in MN. For drift stuff you pretty much have to go to shawano (can also do hpde there) or the dells.

                Strip as in rock falls?

                  Yeah rock falls. I haven't been there yet but have heard about it. I definitely want to go to a hpde, Road America.

                    I've heard not fantastic things about the track surface and how it's prepped. But local is local

                        I've always been in EC. Only other person I can think of from menominie on here was Karl...(?) I can't remember. Think he had an m50 swapped e30 something or other

                          No joke!

                          All the other builds on here are total bullshit, even the other LS swapped cars

                            Thanks gents, wasn't too sure what feedback I would get. Seems a lot of people jump shit for putting a GM motor in these cars. I'm just looking for that reliable 400whp vs my old high strung m20 running 18psi just waiting for the headgasket to let loose.

                                Cool build, you get credit for trying the turbo m20 setup first too. You and Kaiser should also check out Lacrosse's autocross events, I put them on the calendar this year.

                                    Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here.

                                        No build thread. I actually bought it swapped to save both time and money. Lots of changes coming soon. Currently is a stock LS with t56. Power is ok, I have a built ls1(block and crank are literally the only things left stock) going in that will be good for another honest 100whp. Things ended up getting really expensive really fast haha.

                                          Yeah before you know it you've spent 4K and still need another 1k in parts...but half the fun is making it work and figuring it out.
