No this is not my car, but I did decide to go the body kit route:
burnout front bumper
feed front fenders
feed hood
knightsport side mirors (if Ramy ever answers my email)
feed side skirt
burnout rear fender flares
shine auto tail light wing cover thingy (lol)

Keeping the car BB (94 FD, LHD)
No decals for me (Nothig against them, they just didn't sponsor me)

It looks like the motor has more room to be pushed back closer to the firewall? Is this true or is it just the picture?

Yes it will be pushed closer. This is pictures from this weekend when we were trying to see exactly how much room we had to work with. Needless to say, with the Turbo...its a tight fit. I have been smiling all weekend.....Thanks David.

What type of Driveshaft do you have? I've come across a carbon fiber one, but I think you're going for more power than what it can handle.

That has nothing to do with this thread silverrex368. Post in the right place, I only want to read about this not your damn automatic piece of crap.
Good Day.

Talking

MISSED MY FIRST DEADLINE. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. David, looks like I am joining you.

So, the GT42R does not fit as planned. The shock tower will have to be shaved down/notched out to fit it.

Banzai racing is a great company to deal with, they sent my motor mounts so quick it was unreal.



Also got my NXpress carbon solenoids. Niceee


And the BIG boy turbo from KG.





Now for the problem that is taking timeeee....

Its been a little while, and a few deadlines, but I am taking the car to get the intercooler piping done after the weekend is over.
The rear is rebuild, the axles are in, the diff, and the diffusers all bolted up.




The dash is back bolted in, door panels on, just fitting and finishing the ac and airbag holes.







Carbon Tranny cover

Now for the real eye candy.
Tec3 is all wired up. Jim made a cool bracket.




Hair dryer of a turbo is polished up (the one and only CHINAMAN) and fit in.



Fuel Regulator
