Should be cool. Post more pics with progress

 

ill keep posted on this. no one ever do these projects often

 

id do it if i can find myself a decent front clip, but it looks good so far man..keep up the updates!

 

 

sry about the poor quality.. steering wheel and seats are from an 85 rx7.

3rd pic is of my custom tranny mount.




I just picked this up today.

I'm finished with the swap now and am getting ready to paint it white and throw on this down pipe and weld up a custom exhaust for it

 

which front harness are you using? any modifications to it?

 

Nice job so far.

 

so how does the tranny mount bolt to the bottom of the car?

 

I used the font harness from the JDM S5 Clip. The only MAJOR mods was wiring it up to the rear S4 harness. Nothing is plug and play. not even the door electronics

 

A thick plate of steal with a bend to match up to the holes in the frame. Then another steal plate was welded onto and that attached to the bottom part of the tranny mount. I took the tranny mount apart because i only needed to use half of it.

 

 

going to come out nice.. could have imported btw

 

> A friend of mine is doing the same thing to my 7 back in the Cali. Just one question is there a like to a full write up/DYI on this site somewhere? And does my friend need the JDM steering rack, or can he use the one off my car?

 

Here is a easier way to put a manual into your auto body

Fail.

you do not have to make a 3+ foot piece of thick steel for a tranny mount.

And screwing a bunch of 2X4 together for an outline is much harder then what i have done.

 

Nice FB wheel, I have one in my car.

 

Its not 3 foot thick but 3 foot long, i actually think it might be shorter. Its been 3 years since ive done that converion. I think its easier to cut 2 times and drill 4 holes than to do all the cutting and drilling and welding you had to do.

 

good work, keep it up, hella props for this tedious job.

 

or you could have done this:
