Default Ragnorak's S54 318ti Swap with Videos

Hey all!

Just wanted to post up my 318ti build over here. I spend most of my time on the dark side (BFc) because I was selling parts for a while, but I realize most of the true compact enthusiasts are over here. I drew a lot of good info and inspiration for the build from the forum, so I wanted to share some pics/vids/insight with you guys.
