car looks pretty badass, congrats on the swap. engine bay looks beautiful.

I personally would have done the sleeper look but im liking what u did with the car :thumbup:
|
Cool what made you want to swap a bug eye RS instead of a GC? Anyway its cool looking. Plus its probably pretty damn quick with the insurance of an Rs
|
its still a bit sleeper esk......FMIC is blacked out and hidden by a grill and its still badged 2.5rs At least now its as fast as it looks
|
Did you do the merging of the harness yourself? If you did it yourself I will seriously contact you in the future when I swap my RS for points of reference.
|
wow! Very nice!
|
car is sick!!!
|
the thread for this on nasioc is huge lol nice car man
|
Saw it on Sunday....SICK dude...just keeps getting better and better.
Whats next?? |
hey, didnt even know you were doing this... thats pretty sick though... much prefer the car with a stout power plant of course. you dont want to do the full sti drivetrain to complete the sti swap, including R180 and Brembos?
|
Wow, this is so cool. May i asked how much the swapped cost? By the way sick car i like it alot.
|
:jawdrop: my jaw almost broke off when i saw this
question: what's the purpose of that box? |
That's pretty sick man. That airbox is crazy.
|
if you put the stock sti intercooler in an airbox then i am going to have to hate on that.
1 its pre-turbo 2 its extra weight 3 it could very well be restrictive ( i cant see the actual design) Not that it looks like you were going with the function>form version of hookin the car up anyway. Other then that--- congrats on the swap. glad tosee you have some balls back up the styling. Now get an external gate and really scare people |
He's got a FMIC, that box is for the air intake.
|
What did you lay down on the dyno?
|
Negative on the 6 speed swap...I fugure Ill break sumthing in that anyway ( when the bigger turbo comes ) so why spen the $3000+ to swap it and then do it again when it breaks a 2nd time .....I mind as well just do it rite the first time w/PPG for a lil less then the cost of two 6 speeds.....Yes I need breaks like StopTecs or sumthing with a 13in rotor
Like BoB said I gotz a FMIC....that box is a filter isolation box....welcome to the world of cars with out cold air intakes and short rams that do less than nothing but make Ur car loud----er Cost...? w/motor and motor swap related stuff close to $7k Harness: No I did a total harness swap from tail lights to the rad fans....all plug and play sept for the 4 wires on the tranz |
you definitely wont break an STi 6 speed... it is incredibly strong. with that said ppg gears are great and if you want to go that way then i'm sure you wont regret it. if you want something to hold the power though, either will do just fine there.

yeah wow. sick car. ryan and the guys are 1320 are good
