I think people addicted to this thread fall in one of three categories: people really inspired by the project, those who aren't sure what they think but are curious to see what happens next (me), and those that see an awful train wreck but can't look away.

I know if I was Marlin I would have just quit posting a long time ago. I remember a guy started a thread similar to this on the G35 forum detailing his project of replacing the NA 3.5 V6 with a twin-turboed 4.5 V8. Everything went well until someone noticed he had crimped one of the turbo tubes while bending. I think the thread doubled in length in one day with all the mockery.

So lay off the hate-er-aid, grab a beer, get some popcorn, and enjoy the show!
