I have to violently disagree with the person above me.
Ben, you're swapping a ****ing Insight engine into a CRX. Very shortly you'll have one of the most fuel efficient cars on these forums. Also, you keep buying up my damn battery packs and you are extremely aggressive in finding good deals. The fact is you have a project going on now, and you'll have more in the future! You've already invested in future projects whether you like it or not.
Think about it..
LAST YEAR:
Your stock CRX wasn't fuel efficient enough.. you swapped in the best engine within financial reason--a VX engine.
NOW:
A VX engine in a CRX wasn't good enough. You decided to go with the best thing--an Insight engine--despite the fact that it realistically isn't really more fuel efficient then a VX engine.
PLANNED:
Insight engine isn't good enough.. So you're going to go MIMA.
FUTURE:
YOU BOUGHT A 300 V FORD ESCAPE BATTERY PACK!

Clearly, you are more ambitious than most. Thus you don't have to play by the same rules as most. You have balls and you have ideas. You do not have time though.

So I ask you.. why would you not buy a welder NOW?! Furthermore, once you have one, why would you hesitate before using it? Buy one ASAP and just USE it. Don't research how to do it safely, don't take classes, and definitely, definitely don't pay for someone to weld that **** for you.

You need to learn how to weld, and I could not think of a better time to learn then right now. BUY A WELDER AND USE IT! You couldn't make a better investment in your project, this forums future, or your future.

If you don't have the ****ing money, message me and I'll give you the money.
