whats the tranny setup going to be? I doubt the stocker will last too long with the kinda power a 3 rotor and gt42 or 47 will lay down...perhaps a t56 if you wanna keep it manual, but I wanna see a th350 strapped up to something like this!

I did my best mounting the relay boxes. The chassis is curved right there so it makes it much harder. Plus I had about 2 feet of extra wire so I rolled it up and wire loomed it. It honestly isn't that bad. I had to leave the lid off of the top long relay box that was at the front of the engine bay because I wouldn't be able to open the door on the fusebox if I needed to.

The backlight will light up but the numbers will not.

Same here. That wouldn't fly on my car.

I got a 20B project for my second gen with a GT42. Motor is getting reamed with the 12.7mm stud kit from Kiwi right now. Intake and exhaust are ported as big as they can go. Modified the steering rack and pushed the motor back about 4 inches and down as low as it can go. Hopefully you can do it in less than 3 years.

Good luck!

You need to ground your cluster. There is a ground point for the cluster on the engine harness, so while the engine is removed the cluster won't fully work.

So I got the burnout front end bolted up and everything seems to fit pretty good. The EVO-R headlights on the other hand fit like total ****. I can't close the hood because the headlights will hit it. I might sand them down a little bit but I will see what my uncle (body/paint guy) wants me to do first.

FL has no inspection. Infact I registered my car there and the car has never been to FL. Moral of the story is that as long as the state gets their money, they don't care.

Thank You, I will see if that is the problem.

IDK yet. Either a T-56 off of a LS2 GTO or something like Ernie-T's setup.

Yea its not too hard to do but it is very time consuming. Oh and you definately haven't seen me on driftstl. I think drifting is totally stupid, there is no way you would ever see me on a drift forum.

This is the color that I am painting the car: VOLVO MAJIC BLUE EFFECT 467

In the shade its a super dark blue, almost black. But it has 6 different pearls and flakes in it. When the sunlight hits it, it shines a bright bluish purple. The pics DO NOT do it justice.

SHADE:



LIGHT:





It contains the following:
Black
Trans. Deep Blue
Lilac Pearl
Diamond White
Pearl Blue
Trans. Dark Blue
Diamond Red

This paint is also rather expensive. But I am getting it at cost.

Sorry about some of the missing pictures, that will be fixed tonight.

The rear part of the hatch floor has been removed for the twin fuel cell setup. Here are the pictures.

i like what you did in the hatch area. there's lots of room for two fuel cells.... one for meth and one for 93. i may copy that.
