So as most of ya know, i've had jenns 94 GT setup with a 5sfte for just about 5 years now, and its time to move on.
after going thru all the options we decided on a 3rd gen 3sgte for all the obvious reasons. _jim_ has been selling 3s motor sets and clips to a few diffrent members here, and is a good friend of mine, so i gave him a call, and discussed my options with him. he set me up with a great deal on a clip minus body panels ect, since we already have the '4 front end on jenns car. he delivered it to my house on friday. we're pretty sure the clip is a 94, it has ~34,000 miles on it (~55,000km) and is in GREAT shape. some pics of the progress so far. once we got the hood and bumper off, this is what we had: it came with a blitz BOV, blitz spark plug wires, and blitz ground kit. the turbo has virtually NO shaft play, and spins super free and smooth as butter. the leader and supervisor of team "JDM guy" this morning i dropped out the 3s, its much easier to just remove the suspension, crossmembers, motor and tranny as one piece out the bottom. this pic shows how i lifted the clip up over the motor once i dropped it onto a dolly the motor with the intercooler off out of the clip: the suspension and crossmember and chassis tag: more to come as progress is made. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
