I don't think anyone is gonna argue with you on that Brad - infact, I reckon there'd be something wrong if it wasn't on your doorstep at 6am tomorrow morning!

I was looking at photos of some of the high spec drift cars on the net from Japan and they had guys sitting on the floor playing with engines just like that. At least they got cardboard boxes to sit on :)

No offence intended, but it's the `asian way' to build stuff. Years ago I went to Hong Kong to rebuild 35 of Pioneer Concrete's gearboxes off their transit mixers, they were getting about a month's life out of them, not years.
Nice big workshop, new benches etc (but stacked with crap), and here they were sitting on the floor picking Timken bearings off the dirty concrete and fitting them into the boxes.... :shock:
Took me a couple of weeks to train `em... 8)
