After trying to sell, I decided to keep it and put some work into it. As of now this is how it sits.

RB25DET Swap Runs PerfectMcKinney Motor and transmission MountsMcKinney DownpipeMcKinney Steel One Piece Driveshaft3" Testpipe and CatbackMcKinney IntercoolerGreddy type RS BOVRB Gauge Cluster



Parts just order:Z32 MAFIntake ManifoldJim Wolf Clutch/FlywheelJim Wolf Tuned ECUJim Wolf 55 lb MSD InjectorsQ45 Throttle BodySAFCMcKinney RadiatorGarrett GT3076R TurboBuddy Club Spec II ExhaustKAAZ 2 Way LSDStance GR+ Coilovers38mm Tial Wastegate

Getting ready to pull the motor again, paint the motor and do a wire tuck. Then all the parts should go on.

Now, I know I am going with the Kouki front end conversion but I'm debating on which body kit to go with. Sooo, any ideas would be appreciated on that. Also, I want to get some wheels with a nasty lip on them, but don't require widebody. ( Not a widebody fan). Sooo, again... any help from you guys would be helpful.

When I pull the motor and start on my stuff I will post pictures of progress.

**EDIT**: After seeing a few pictures of verts with the kouki front, it looks as if they all are widebody some.. and they didn't look that bad (at least the ones that weren't crazy wide). So I may consider it, but not sure on how wide to go.

Wow clean convertible! Interior looks immaculate for being a southern car.

One question, what is with the two BOVs? Does the stocker even stay closed when you are under boost?

The stock blow off valve is blocked off.

Nice. IF I take my drivetrain back to the states (with out the car), I'm going to try and find a 'vert to put it in.

That's no RB gauge cluster! I certainly hope that your battery is in a tray with a locking mechanism of some type ( would prefer to be inside a box).

Car looks clean. Who re-covered your seats - Leather?

Mine could use a new top..

That picture was taken before the gauge cluster was put in. And those are stock seats, I just kept them really clean. About the battery, yes it will get put in a box and strapped down. All these pictures were taken right after the swap. I will get more pictures up when I pull the motor again to do the wire tuck, paint the motor, and put some parts on.
