Here are some recent pics of my never ending project FD. Still along way to go, but it's starting to look more and more like a car as time goes on. The shop I had working on it completely back burnered my car...so I am going back to STL to pick it up and bring it down here to Houston to have it finished up.

 

Awesome!

 

Wow that is some amazing craftmanship you got there!

 

in for the non rotary hate

 

dam looks awsome

 

 

Dont knock it till you try it.

The way I see it, I have completed the ultimate reliabilty upgrade for my FD.

2JZ
TH400
Ford 9"
NHRA certified chassis down to 8.50
4-link suspension

I should be good to go once the car is ready to rock.

I have done the rotary thing for the past 6 years now...and w/o ever building a car faster than 125mph, I broke alot of ****....so if I wanted a rotary to go 160+ I am afraid it would become entirely too frustrating for me and expensive. I can't afford to rebuild my **** every other day. So I took a path less travelled.

 

I for one, don't hate ! I think motor swaps are pretty darn cool.

I was hoping to see that badboy make a pass up here

 

looking nice....

 

Its nice, but what venue can you run in?

 

The "Kickin some hillbilly *** on the street" venue

 

I am really not that into classes, events, etc...I just want a car for the street.

 

that a boy

must be a midwest thing

 

hey lane change what do you think the car will weigh. and how much hp. just wondering.

 

Looks pretty sick. just a recomendation.. do away with the panhard bar and run a wishbone setup. other than that it looks nice

Not sure what the total weight will be. Hoping to be around 2400lbs, I think Cheatham had his car down near 2300 but the 2JZ TH400 is a bit heavier than the 13B 5 speed. and I am shooting for around 800 on boost and I'll see how much nitrous I end up running during the tuning and after some test passes.

 

sounds like a monster is going to be on the streets of missouri pretty soon.

 

I live in Houston, TX now....just never updated my profile.

Also, just for an idea....I may end up putting this car up for sale. Not sure yet...depends on interest and price. I have alot of money in building this chassis.

 

hey Scott....
is the engine bay gonna look anything like this?


cause if it is than......boy I tell you what...!!
Dope!!!!
