I've decided that I'd have better luck finding Big Foot. My quest for aluminum pieces has been abandoned.

Honestly, the only issue you'll run into with the VR6 is the crack pipe leaking. I would just buy that and run it.

I am ordering the aluminum kit from ECS slightly cheaper than Black Forest Industries and BFI is out of stock. Have you seen their shift knobs? I want one but not for $100. That shit is ridiculous.
