GTUs Turbo Swap.........it's begun
wel I bought my car last weekend and I installed my TII front suspension last Sunday ( Eibach Pro Springs and KYB AGXs).......I went to work on it again today and I did swapped the GTUs subframe for my TII subframe.......THAT **** IS TIRESOME!!! Here are the pics I have so far: I should be finished next weekend........
This is the GTUs last weekend....
This is my GF helping me withthe sway bar
This is my buddy and me(the background) with my old TII subframe on the GTUs......
here is what that subframe looked like on my old car
I'll post more pics as I take them....I was thinking about doing a write-up.....but it was too time consuming.

Today I sold my GTU/TII wing and calipers to a fellow forum member and then bought myself a battery relocator kit and a nice radiator(also off a forum member)......Next weekend she will live!!

Holycrap! What the hell are you doing under a car with no jackstands. You are asking to have the car fall off the lift and crush you. Jack stands are not expensive compared to dying...

Looks like your swap is coming along nicely. 
Thanks for the wing and the calipers, i figured out that i'll have to buy new brake lines, but i wanted to swap to braided steel ones anyway, so no biggie.

WWell.......today we took out the seats and dash and removed the heater core and A/C core from under the dash along with all the venting......removed all the unnecessary hoses from under the hood.....cleaned the engine bay quite a bit....I ran into a problem with the oil cooler hoses.......I could not detach the lower one na ended breaking the little ruber mount.....I still didn't get the hose off! My job for this week is to find out how to remove the damn bolt (need to find the right socket...IT'S HUGE!) then buy extra wiring for the battery relocator kit....get a new grounding kit fot the whole car......recieve the engine mounts, and clean up my motor.....OH and buy all the fluids.......OUR goal is to get it done next weekend.........then it's off to the Dyno for some tuning.....
Wish me luck.

I love Kev, there's no way he's ever going to turbo though... What a shame.
