I'm not gonna lie, I came on to hear cuz I was going to talk crap cuz I think its stupid to put a v8 in such a small car, but you did this so damn legit and badass Im atually excited to see it run, good job man

killsarrow · 10-17-2009, 12:35 AM

wow this car is soo sick . cant wait to see more , great job .

*kingkilburn* · 10-17-2009, 12:38 AM

Why is it stupid if said V8 is near the same weight or potentially lighter than other options?

It's not a cast iron 500ci big block.

burnsauto · 10-17-2009, 01:05 AM

not bad, its starting to take shape nicely. how much did those itb's run you? (im too lazy to read all of that at 3am..)

roco · 10-17-2009, 02:16 PM

Stock ones.

and the new fabed ones.

I used s13 outers on my front swap, used the s13inners welded to half of AE86 outers that serves as the extension needed also and is very strong with seam welding and a few plugwelds through the center. Heres is the ruff units installed, I made another set that ill try to find my pics of the finished product ground smooth and powdercoated.

Smackthatfourty! · 10-20-2009, 09:34 PM

roco · 01-01-2010, 06:13 AM

ive had fu$k all time to work on this the last few months. but did get bits done.
basically just starting re-assebaly and fabing stuff as i go.
i fabricated a pedal box from scratch, have no pics of it being built
sometimes when i get into something i just gotta finnish it while its
in my head, plus im to lazy to go in and get the camera, lol
painted and fitted to the car,

peddals and a small aloy floor plate,

3 remote resivoirs

started re-fitting the engine.

made a mounting bracket for the clutch slave cyclinder

cockpit storage space, lol

put the engine in, and got a large alloy rad from a mitubuishi evolution 6
to keep the big 8 banger cool, i had cut the front end off weeks ago
so i decided to make a full tube front end the bolts off in four places,
the whole lot comes off in one piece, rad, bumper, lights, fans,etc.

mocked up the bodywork, looks prety good, :beer:
