well its been a few years since i had a 6th gen. havent had the money to start this project, but the time has come for me to begin. i seen the one guy on here chopped his car in half and welded it to the front clip. hats off to him very good idea. im not going that way though. im going to strip my car down from top to bottom first thing is stripped down and painted. my father in law and i already know what we are gonna do in the rear for the awd. i will be posting as many pics as i can along the way and i will share all the information i can with everyone.

who supplied you with the clip, and how was the experience,, i got it from a guy on ebay (jdm_planet). he was really cool. he had it shipped to me within 3 days. i put some fluids in the clip when i first got it and it fired right up no problems. all the parts were in great condition. i would reccomend him |

I want to see this bad boy on the road. well i wanted to have it done by the end of this summer but i am a perfectionist. so while the engine is out i will probably give it a full overhaul. maybe by next spring. everything should be done by the end of summer it all depends when im happy with the motor |

you'll kick yourself when you finish your swap and try to install that stut bar. it doesn't fit if you are planing to keep the stock water to air intercooler.

if you end up getting the throttle body adapter that fits 2.5" intercooler piping found on mr2's the strut bar won't fit that either

it'll be a tight fit with a front mount intercooler, because the pipe going to your trottle body will have to pass underneath iit.
I would say, mount the bar and then mount / build your pipe to clear. I'm sure if you instlall the pipe first and then try to install the bar chances are it wont clear. good luck with it. This post has been edited by Culpable04: May 11, 2011 - 1:34 PM -------------------- ![]() |
