i think its time to make another thread about the build progress of my GD3 + K swap, because i feel that the old thread with 50+ pages was just too big and too broad and outdated !....








-Full front and rear JDM conversion w/Noblesse Lux body kit
-Custom fenders done by save on auto body + painted root beer brown
-Custom air ride suspension done by BPG Tuning
-Custom hardwood flooring trunk box done by BPG Tuning
-Custom Air-Brush wood grains on all interior panels done by brinkworth Custom
currently car weights 2900lbs & runs 17.17" 1/4 mile

Think out side the box ~! my car is AT, the whole chassis is different then MT, all the swap parts on the market now are made for MT fit so most of my swap parts will need to be custom made, like tranny mount, and all the wiring harness. i am not keeping the stock cluster and will be going with RacePak IQ3, we believe it will save us alot of time in turning everything from AT to MT because everything is different. also will be getting the Hybird Racing Universal swap harness to mate with the OEM one. Hasport told me because i have AT...its impossible to do K swap....as again, nothing is impossible !

Ok so u dont have infinite amount of monies, but by far you have the deepest pockets on FF.net lol, can't wait till this is done.

Personally, I would cover up those fenders before they get beat too much.
