AJR GE8 ?! Almost done.... finally....

Couple updated pics and dunno if that's something that you guys would like to see





This conversion is such a b*tch to do. There are a lot of components where you needs to be replaced and modified.

It's almost done so more pics will be posted soon.

That looks amazing. Dang JDM conversion seems like it would be a lot of work. Can't wait to see more of the car. T1R brakes look awesome.

Just an estimate, the front end is about 7-8 inches shorter and the rear is about 2-3 inches shorter s the difference is very noticeable.
