15,000 wowwww i meant WOOWWW
WELL when you want something the price won't metter rite??
I was reffering to tye

 

I was refering to the swap lol

 

Well i went into this mode of buying improper products. Such as...KSRACING from Thailand on ebay. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT!!!! Waste of time, money, and patience. I wasted $1000 on them. Then with all my parts for my car, i was buying some used, a lot new. So it was expensive....but definitely worth it in the long run

 

Yea i feel u
When i was searching info for this swap i swa this thread talking crap about ksracing mounts

 

Yeah theyre worthless.

Bad news for the rims
They are actually 5x120....not 5x114.3
So if you know anyone that wants 20" zenetti kaotik rims and is willing to do a little bit of work on them cuz of its condition. $750, they have 90 tire thread on them

 

20s too big i think . Lol

Anyways ..so u were telling me tha the suspension u have one ur car are
Springs rite?
I was wondering how much u are gonna be off the ground wit tonys kit?

 

Yeah but i got great deal for them. I have R1 shocks and springs. Idk about the ground clearance because i have different springs than he does.

 

My car at this moment its 3.75 inches off the ground now with his kit is gonna be even lowere so i have to raised up 1" to compensate thats why i wanna see urs just to pic my car since we are gonna be using the same parts! !!

Any updates ??

 

Haha i see. No updates yet, i tried fitting the rims but no luck with that. Im actually saving up my time to work on it because im taking leave the last week of march to dedicate my time to the build. Thats when im going to paint the engine bay, derust my tank using electrolysis, test out my engine for the first time, and who knows what.

 

Wooh got my shifter extension done. Should be picking it up tomorrow

 

Damn who did the welding
it looks great!!!!

 

I had a machine shop do it here. Hes really good with his welds, that and i didnt want it getting lost in the mail if it sent to the states

 

Hold up...!!!! Didn't u get the complete swap from SP..?

 

Well i was going to send it in about 6 months ago, but finances got in the way, gotta support my wife and son lol. Then i was on a time crunch so i ended up getting it done here. SP does phenomenal welds too, just look at their gallery and you can see that, but in my case waiting for 2 months ( shipping takes forever in snail mail ) cant do it for me.

Hoh I see now!!!! Shipping sucks

 

Nice work. Keep it up.

 

looks great thinkin of doing the same with my 7 because i found a good deal on a 1JZ with a T78 and transmision etc it would be cheaper then getting a rotary built.. yours looks great though awesome attention to detail

 

Thats the price you pay for being overseas

Thanks man!! I cant wait to get this baby running

Its definitely beneficial in the long run compared with how many times a rotary will be rebuilt. This is going to be my everyday car. Let me know when you want to get the mounting kit or if you need help getting any parts

 

Bought my 1JZ ! Thanks to this thread ahah I'm now going 1JZ, 264° cams, T78 turbo and more. Doing my own subframe tho' so we can go as high as possible.. the guy doing my subframe has an LS3 s2000 and a V10 ( viper engine ) S2000 that he did all the work himself.

 

Thats great!!! Im honored to inspire you and good luck on your build. Wow a viper motor in a s2000? Very impressive, i would love to ride in that beast. Where did you get your motor? Lmk if you need help bro

 

Bought my motor from a guy local to me. Already had cams, cam gear and R154. These kind of motor aren't rare around here. We have alot of shop having them in stock, along with 2JZ, RB, SR20, and most JDM engines.

We'll see now how much my custom subframe will set me back compared to a kit. will probably do a build thread once it get started

 

Awesome bro, lmk where ur thread is at so i can check it out when you make it.

Update, i pulled the fuel tank today to see what i would be messing with in terms of rust. NO RUST!!!! After 2.5 years of sitting it has accumulated no rust. Thats a blessing for sure. Going to redo my wiring harness, im nothappy with how i crimped the splices (used a vice grip). I know i know, but now im going to do it the right way with a crimper

 

Some of you guys considering using this "shop" called shifted performance, may want to do a little research first...
