Thx everyone. IG is @2jz_lelandsti

I post almost pics and clips there. 

I’ll also be in Calgary around the 19th to tune the car actually.

The 3 is raw.  Lighter than more agile.  The 6 probably feels like a 747.  And by that contrast, my STI probably feels like the Hindenburg.  So GR's are like the International Space Station.

Update:

Cars been running very well.  Have just been doing some Etuning with Jimmy at Vex and have it to 15 psi and going to leave it there until spring.  Winter is near and I just want to drive and enjoy it. 

That being said, the car feels incredibly strong and pulls quite hard.   It’s going to be wild when we get it up to 30+ psi.  Sounds nuts too.  I post videos and pics on IG all the time.  Follow there to see them.  Or follow our YouTube for videos too. I’ll be doing some walkarounds and explanation videos.

And here’s a couple pics.

Just incredible. Bravo to you, sir.

Now that you’ve had some more seat time in it, how to you find the overall handling compared to having the short/low/flat engine it once had?

As of now it would seem that way. Was purposely ripping some corners and doing some highway runs and......couldn’t tell a lick of difference.  Other than the RWD is more fun!

*everyone sells their Subarus immediately*

Did you have to modify any thing to get the engine to fit under the hood? From what I have seen most swaps usually end up having the engine hanging either more forward, or higher in the engine bay than your set up?

When I look at your car it looks like the engine belongs in there.

But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.

Lol.  With time my friend.  It wasn’t really tuned in that vid and didn’t want to beat on it.

When you see those swaps where its hanging out the hood, like the 4g63 I posted, that is because they're using the AWD trans. Leland went RWD trans so could move the engine and trans further back... I assume.

Man this thing is insane! Subbed to your channel, the video was awesome. If you're ever around my neck of the woods I'd love the opportunity to shoot some pics / video with you!
