Almost done!
In 10 days I will have been without a car for exactly a year! Yup walking and catching rides everywhere! Blew my rotary back last march and decided to go with a 1j vvti and the burnout kit for my dd. havent yet decided if I want to go with the wide body or not.
Heres what we have so far... all that's left is a bit of wiring and to throw the tranny in!
Still gotta work on the hood a crap ton to get it to fit... but shes finally looking good again!

Ive kinda went all out on mine... my motor was $4500 alone, vvti with 10k on it!! all in all it will be about 15 to 17k just for the swap, but then gotta add in the burnout kit, and paint and body work! ugh!!
I havent started mine up either, were finishing her up this weekend. Ill try and post some vids up when its done.

dude thats brutal.. check www.driftmotion.com i picked up a G worth of parts from there, really good deals. + u live in the states so shipping isnt a big *** headache / customs fees and stuff. i got my full shifter assemb for 50 bucks locally then bought new bushings from driftmotion
