Anyone get a chance to see the full install instructions in "Import Racer" Mag?

My friend told me to go pick up an issue of Import Racer magazine this month because they have some huge write up of a redtop install into a 89 240sx.

I picked it up, but haven't gotten a chance to flip through it.

Has anyone else seen the article? The cover says theres 80+ pictures, and the spread is supposed to be 10+ pages long.

For those of you that have done the swap, and have read the article, is it accurate in the steps needed?

I'm a newb looking forward to doing my own swap, and any kind of aid would help A LOT.

I picked it up although i have my SR swap finished already. Its real brief, and seems fairly useless to me. It also says that changing transmissions isn't necessary... so i am not to sure i would trust them

I saw the article and all I could think was, "Great, the CHP is one step closer to knowing what is going on."

The article seemed to be fairly complete though. There are a bunch of pictures, but they're all about 1inch by 2inch... ie, too small to get any real detail out of. If you're looking for information about the swap, it's worth having. There's no such thing as being too educated or well informed.
