[@barrieford3522]

brilliant work you have a fantastic approach to it all

[@lefroy1]

💪Do some driving vids with a focus on public reactions to the Ultima RS👍

[@axelleroux8445]

Yeah it would be cool as well as car meets videos

[@tawilk]

I like the color of the car. I've been thinking about getting one myself to build up over the next few years. I'm curious about how your engine blew up earlier.

Watch back through the Blunicorn playlist for the full details and fix, but the gist of it is the upgraded Porsche pressure plate put too much force on the crank thrust bearing. That wiped out the bearing and caused a cascade of failures.

Ultima has only space frame body. Big question is it stainless steel pipes or titanium?

[@dave5833]

Would be handy to have a lift?

[@techo61]

Buying oil by the quart must be the most expensive method of doing frequent and high volume oil changes. Why not buy bulk drums and a hand pump to reduce costs and simplify the filling process?

Nice car. I've always loved Ultima's. It deserves better than a crescent wrench.

[@DriveDriverDriven]

yeah, it'd be nice if AN fittings and plugs all followed the standard too

" Ask me how I know " . I tell people that all the time because I have screwed up plenty in the past .
