Talking Rexy

Bought this car off a member here. Actually got it for a decent amount considering its S5 body. The car is pretty stock. And really torn apart. But I'm planning to build this car in a slow pace so that i can get everything done the way i want to and also correctly. Plans that i have for this car is to do a 13b-rew swap. I've gotten a blown Rew shortblock for free from a pal. So I'm hoping to get the rebuilt and throw it into the FC. Please feel free to offer any suggestions =]


The front better was cut out by the previous to make it look like BN style.




Have a list of what i want for this car. (dont mind the drawings, i was bored in class)


Picked up these Turbo II parts from members of this forum also! =]


Also a set of Crown Vics ( cause i think they'll look nice when my car is ready.)

Nice drawing of the FC!

You might want to check into pre-made motor mounts for the 13brew into FC swap, such as the ones here: http://motivefab.com/products-page/m...ne-swap-mounts

Add bumper to the list because it looks like some one cut out between the ftp's and the head lights... And it looks retarded.

Good luck and post photos of the build!

good idea keeping a running total. ive kept up with mine as well, sometimes i wish i hadnt. youll see your total build up very quick, and youll spend a ton more than you had planned, promise lol.

I saved money. And dropped off the motor to Garage Life to get a rebuild. Hopefully everything turns out good. Time to start shopping for turbo parts!

I use numbers (spreadsheet app) on my iPad to keep track of all my purchases and costs. Sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach and then I think "but it's an effffceeee" and I get all cheerful again. :p

nice start, nice puppy, what kind is that?... I like your list too lol, dont forget suspension work. all those bushings and stuff are getting old in our cars, might as well start checking and replacing. besides it'll make it feel much better with all that added power.

Still havent had much time to work on the car but i manage to squeeze a little time and effort to pull some crap out of the engine that i didn't need out. Clean it as much as i can with a microfiber towel and clean supplies. Also early last week i was able to drop off the short block at a forum member shop named "Garage Life" really friendly people. Look at the street port that DK did for me!






exited to see how much power this street port is gonna give me!




-Thanks dkwasherexd

Port looks nice! Keep up the good work

Build lists/cost spreadsheets are awesome....just don't let your gril/wife ever find it.
