I posted in my first thread that I was going to put a Silvia front end on my car. Well, I wasnt kidding. Actually, I ordered one last week from RBmotoring, and I just got confirmation that it was delivered to my house today. I won't be able to get home until a week from today, so I can't take any pictures yet, but I will post up some pics of the progress when we start the body work. I'm going to fix all the door dings and little dents and get the whole car a new fresh coat of red paint.

Cool man.

I'm excited to see how it turns out as I am planning to do the same eventually.

Lets see some pics when you get the chance.

Sounds neat. What part of KY are you located? I'm right next door in Huntington, WV.

Hey Moody - any word on the development of your front-end conversion?

Cool. I'll be running my 240 'vert at Mt. Park Dragway in Clay City this spring. Maybe we can meet up then at one of the Car Wars races. I'd really like to see a S13 'vert with Silvia front on it in person.

Yea, you will more than likely see me up at Clay City this year. My friends and I go up there all the time. I used to run my old 95 GST there. It's a decent place, I prefer Bowling Green's 1/4 mile track though. Beech Bend is where its at!

Sorry it's taken so long, but the project has been put off til Spring Break.

I have had a TON of things going on right now, and school is taking priority over the vert. I have stored my silvia front end and 5 speed swap parts for the time being. I'll let you all know when the fun starts again.

What color was your GS-T? There's a very good chance we might have raced against each other at MPD at some point. I own a little black '93 Sentra SE-R that has been turbo'd for about 4 years now. I ran religiously at MPD the first 2-3 years of that, working things out. Ran a LOT of DSMs at Car Wars in that time period.
