Ok guys,
this thing looks like ****. I wasnt going to pull a juiceh on you guys and make you watch with your dicks in your hands for a couple of years, hopefully I shouldnt take that long but I have been called out by Evilrotor so I must post.









BTW nothing is bolted in and the ls1 is in my garage. There is no engine in the car.

I would have waited to post...................................
Looks like a big project. Not digging the widebody stuff on that... Can't wait to see the end result, has potential.

yeah, ill post pics of what I am intending on. I wasnt a fan of the kit either. But you should see what I am going to it to make it right. Think my custom front end plus Tamon design. I will also be making a custom rear diffuser that comes out and vertically meets the rear overfender.
No disrespect, at all for sure, I can appreciate any project, without knowing the end projected result all i can do is look at the current state. Love the rims, the hood is cool, and I would kill a donkey for the seats for my E36...

Actually the more I think about it the more I prefer for you guys to see it as is now, so you can get a feel of before and after and the work that goes into it. I am still working on the coupe as of now, sanding it this week and painting it next.

**** them. Ill be doing a turbo build on the other car to make up for my sins. And this isnt about the motor swap. There is no motor in the car and this is not a technical thread. I just want to show the visual progression of the exterior and interior of the car.

and I have no idea which kit I am using.
I am going to fab up the tranny mount and I have an engine mount but not sure which it is. I got it for $70 from a friend. Looks like a granny's or replica.

Lol. I am not sure even. I will find out. Some dude on craigslist had them for his supra, had a kit and got an evo which came with sparcos, so he sold these to me.
You need to build the **** out of the coupe though so it is comparable the the vert power wise.
every time i think of ls rx7s and rotary ***** it reminds me of this

all the rotary ***** have gotten weak, I must admit I was really weighing my options last week when I blew my engine. I could have gotten a ls engine for half the price of the engine I bought, but I think I made the right choice.

you just got to do it, and consider that extreme mods arent really favorable on the forums, alot of guys prefer the classic stock looks, so dont take anything too serious thats said on here. Trust me lol
Your gonna need to slam that car, and change to a aggressive front bumper imo. Add a front underneath splitter and a rear diffuser out the rear

I almost bought that raceon kit.
I am a huge fan of that look, if done correctly (stance+wheelfitment) , there is no need to fill in the lower quarter and fender gaps.
Thats what makes that kit..That kit.
Car is gonna look really good with that old photoshop front end you had a while back.
Good luck with the build.
