Found a hidden gem. 'vert with silvia front and Rb25det

[Eikon]

So, I've been working on a subaru STI project with a friend of mine. Hail damaged pretty badly, so I've been searching for body panels on the STI forums (Nasioc in particular).

Anyhow.. met this guy named Neal. He's a big STI guy.. has 2 of them plus a WRX he works on. He has a parts car that he's probably going to strip the body panels from that I will need.

Well, we got to talking and I told him that I have a RB20 in my 'vert.

He's says thats funny... A coupe of my buddies and I have been working on a project 'vert for a while.

They have a Rb25 swap in it... The first I've ever heard of! Also they have a silvia front on the car.

He's going to send me pics... I will post them when he does.

I guess they might be looking to sell it as well... so keep your eye out here and the classifieds page.

Another RB 'vert... that's so awesome!!!

Nice.

BTW, there's an RB26DETT vert with RHD and a fully-functional ATTESSA system for sale here in AZ. Needs some cosmetics, but it's all there...

I think the owner is looking for $10K.

Greg! You have to help me get in touch with that person.

I can't possibly buy the car.. But, there have been many ongoing debates in the RB forum about getting the all wheel drive system working in an S13 chassis.

That's the first I've heard about that being truly in existance. So, if you can help me find out how to find this person... i would love to be able to get that info to the RB forum here on NICO.

I used to think I was so unique with my RB 'vert. Now there popping up everywhere...

Well, here's the problem.

The owner paid someone to do the work, and he's not very knowledgeable.

There are also folks who will say he's not real nice, but my dealings with him have been fine.

Anyone who says it *CAN'T* be done is retarded though. Anything is possible.

I've seen it done before but the front suspension geometry makes it extremely difficult to get the front wheel drive and still get an acceptable engine position. I'd be interested to see how he got around that.
