My winter money pit
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2006 2:13 pm
I finally decided to stop being such a bum and post up one of these project car build ups. Mainly because Im going to need some advice and help along the way so I can have someone who's been watching the build up in order to help me, but also to inform people of some fun stuff.
Plans for the motor is to finally swap in the ex-GZE with turbo stuff in and get that all sorted out and running. That will be the second half of winter. Plans for the fixing of that damned snapped axle is S13 rear-subframe with a VLSD and some nifty coilovers. I am also planning on probably trying to swap my brothers S14 coilovers/front suspension onto the car
. If not his S14 suspension maybe I'll find some S13 stuff for that as well. Anywho if anyone wants to trade some S13 rear-coilovers for a pair of S14 tein he's with like 3000 miles on them lemme know as that will be kinda necessary . Now for the start of the pictures:
out with the old
and busted
And in with the new and fresh
The motor has like 50k miles or so, and the manifold is just your basic Xspower. The turbo on it is a stock T25 Sr turbo, and it has the Sr dump pipe or the top of the downpipe. Im planning on doing a custom V-mount setup with the intercooler, and hopefully I can get one of the 4ag to w5x bellhousing adapters and get a nice W58 or 55 to use with the motor. I am planning on running megasquirt for an ecu and all those goodies. I can't really think of anything else to add just now except that im planning on putting in atleast a nice 4 point custom made cage myself sometime soon as well.

hehe, basically the stuff in that picture plus the springs is for sale now to help fund, and once I get the other rear-end retro-fitted to the corolla I'll sell off the remaining parts I have.
real tech.
