I read the entire thread. From what I gathered... This guy:
Doesn't know how to paint
Doesn't know how to measure
Doesn't know that rotating objects need to be balanced
Doesn't know how air flow works
Doesn't know how to weld
Can't think of anything else, mostly because I have 18 months of automotive school running through my head at an alarming rate.
To make things worse, he's seen as a god on his forums. Even after having the lancer thread linked on this cars build thread, they still think he's doing everything right. It's unbelievable how incredibly stupid people are.

I can honestly say, that I would be happy if the engine blew up, and every person that had a helping hand in this car got hit and killed with shrapnel from the engine. I'm a certified FACT (Ford Accelerated Credential Training) graduate, and this guy is spitting on the entire automotive industry.

I'm pretty sure it did blow up, because if you notice at the end, the OP says there won't be any more updates because they "ran into some problems". I'm guessing some guy's face ran into the frankenclutch.

I still can't believe they made that clutch like that.
I really don't know which is worse...Frankenclutch, The Holy Flywheel, or the painted driveshaft/u-joints (there is no way that thing is still balanced with that paint).
I never knew about the grooves, but one guy did confirm that it helps with combustion...on 8V N/A heads...NOT 16V heads, especially not 16V heads that are used in a turbo application.
