Love the build!

God i just love it when someone proves all the jealous people wrong and actually do something great rather than just visit all the threads on here and knock their ideas nomatter how awesome they are!

Great job man, I hope you bring it to a meet or two!

She is all done and I'm driving the sh*t out of it. Handles great and no unpleasant noises. The car does need a clutch, it begins to slip above 6k. Besides that all thats left is little things like gauges, cusco underbraces, just ordered a seat bracket for the left side. I'll start number two within the next few weeks.

Congrats! Glad to see that it's finally done! Everything came together so well on this.

nice work, although that fuel cell doesn't look quite right to me

[enderswift]

aaaahh i cant believe i missed the update. wow this is all just soooo amazing!

props to you. you did what a-lot of people only talked about, and not only that you did it in an unconventional but impressive way. Im sure most of us wont be welding two halves together but the way you went about awd conversion is super clean and looks sturdy. I absolutely cannot wait to graduate and do total gt4 conversion to my car as well. I guess im gonna have to live my dream through threads like yours till then haha.

one question, is that the fuel cell thats hanging so low from the rear bumper??? and could you post a pic of what you did with the spare tire hole? did you weld a plate over it?

[garin]

that thing is sweet! great job man!

[Espo]

I can't believe this. I have to see this sometime haha. The fuel cell looks way out of place, but what else are you really gonna do lol

[Tom88]

Looks awesome mate!

Maybe you could get a rear lip like i have to cover up that fuel cell abit?

[stephen_lee]

if my v6 swap exceeds 450 WHP, im going to do this.

[Lenny]

very nice

I went ahead and put a new clutch in the car (exedy stage 2) and since I had to pull the motor anyway the car also received hks cam gears, timing belt, berk dp, fidanzia flywheeel, and new magencor wires. For an appearence upgrade i put the riser blocks on and put some gauges in. Enjoy the pics.

i hate you

[jmeyer]

Trade for the Supra?

[stephen_lee]

another machine i want to make love to

[JuMPiiN]

I dont want to be out of line or anything im curious to know how much this cost you ? around 10K or more ?

[bloodMoney]

Trade for the Supra?

runs out to go buy a Supra.....

Great work!

[Fate]

not sure if this was covered but are those ITR recaros? what bases/sliders did you used to mock and fit them on? thanks

[jmeyer]

Well as far as cost goes its up there. I really didn't want to spare any expense and bought high quality parts that I knew would help with the longivity of the car. The next one I do will be all stock and I estimate that at costing around 7k (no labor cost included)

The seats are recaro speed which were also used in the jdm integras. I used corbeau seat mounts and sliders ($100 ea). You'll have to modify the rail to get it to work but its fairly simple.
