I am about to get my stock one done by a body shop. Hopefully it turns out good. They quoted me $400. Its a little steep but I have not gotten a chance to try out my tig welder. And welding aluminum is tricky.
What shocks and springs are you using? I need to change my stock ones. My car got really low with the weight of the beast motor .

I have to shoot a video. I am really surprised how this car pulls with the stock 1J.

This is good stuff, Im in the middle of my own build.

Taking a little longer then expected but I just finished the subframe and tranny mount. Do you have any pictures of your custom subframe?

I may have some wiring questons for you soon. Do you have a write up on it? I really like the fuse boxes in the back

Nice work

Wow, that thing looks really clean and sounds incredible. I don't think I will ever pull the rotary out of my car, but if I ever change my mind I will definitely give you a call. Great job man.
