I remember following this build after I came across the thread literally days before the update where it burned down. I was so gutted for him that when the donor link was live, I was happy to contribute to it a bit. I'm glad he got it finished eventually.

A Boxster engine risks blowing up at standard power. This has an Audi S4 engine in it. They can do 500bhp before you need to open them up to upgrade the rods.
