BUILD JOURNAL

The fix is in.

The SMG3 was peak something. It got overshadowed by the MDCT and most enthusiasts gave up on it.

I doubled down.

In this Special Series, I chat about what makes the SMG3 the best of its time and atrocious per current standards.

I unbox and cover the design features of the carbon driveshaft and document the install procedures. Lastly, I recorded a few videos to support my driving impressions.

Cheers,
