Re: 7AG build thread!

OH BOY!! Another 7AGE! I'll be watching this one. I will ask why you went with the 20v head though. A lot do, but I've found the big port does as well, if not better.

Re: FRS/BRZ/GT86 6-speed swap vs J160 BEAMs

i believe impulse makes a swap kit for this, the J160S is a pretty solid option, but for overall longevity and ease of accsess to parts i would give the BRZ/GR86 mission a try!
