Rockmanx Fp Black Complete Build thread.
ya 2.1 or 2.2 is also a good choice. 2.3 is nice but the motor revs so fast and you cant really rev it to the sky safely so its kind of lame. youll see what i mean once your cars running. i just got done fixing mine (waterpump) but i had to set my limiter to like 8000, i had it set to 9000 and i went to 9k without even realizing it in 3rd gear, thats how fast rev's are.

Nice dude. I was wondering if you were just going to build a new car in your closet or actually putting all that in to your BBY. Then it's time for some wheels after the motor build... 
yes wheels but right now im trying to find a timing belt that will work with this 2.4 was not expecting this so i need to get one now.
