      You ever lay a floor, roof or do a lot of mechanic work on your knees all day? Doesn't matter how old you are, if you don't wanna go home in pain then wear some damn pads. It has the bonus benefit of helping prevent osteoarthritis in your knees if you start young enough too. Baseline is it prevents knee soreness, the rest are icing on the cake.

    Hey Rich, chances are slim you will see this but gonna try anyway. I work at Detroit speed, we build classic cars with mostly LS power plants. So the 2nd gen camaro doesn't have a ton of room for dual 3" exhaust, how do we fix it? Well, we cut the floor out and raise the exhaust up for ground clearance then we build the floor back around the exhaust. With how much you're having to modify the floor, this might be a solution for you as well. Move those rails further out and stuff the exhaust as close as can to the trans and the driveshaft.

    other than the editing, the excitement I have for the v8 tesla mirrors Rob Dahm 4 rotor AWD build. Here's hoping despite the sillyness, there's enough coverage on the engineering side of the build. EVs in general are rare and expensive in my country, I even tried researching simple DIY Electric conversion and it's still too expensive/hard. Knowing someone online who consciously do a ICE swap onto an EV is just mind boggling
