Hmmm.....an AWD conversion.......I was wondering when I would finally see one. We should have some of the Miami guys check that out and report back.

damn the life of a poor college student, I wish I had the funds for that one
the outside looked nice, that engine looked like ass!

thats like 10k cheaper than my WRX

i would so rather drive that car than my wrx.

o well, one day i will import a gt4, its not totally a gt4 unless its RHD(and yes i know they came lhd too, but i want jdm, lol)

excellent swap. The car seems to be in good condition.

Just one comment though. Spending so many thousands on the swap to make it a true JDM GT4 but why didn't he get the front bumper and hood to finish it off?

just makes me wonder.
I thought that htere wouldn't be enought hood clearance without the GT4 hood b/c of the top mount intercooler?? And what is that reddish color box in the trunk?
I think the red box is a fuel cell/gas tank... correct me if I'm wrong. It'd be a great sleeper without the blocks on the wing... otherwise he should have added the GT4 hood and bumper. I does look like many aspects of the car need work... it's seen better days.
it is a fuel cell, with the awd conversion you have to custom make a fuel cell. and with the hood and front bumper i actually talked to the guy and he just didnt like them and left it stock good for me cause i have a gt4 hood and zyclone front end for it hehehe

I will return one day.
if i lit my interior on fire it would look better then that piece.

hows it taste motha f*cka
nope...no BS...ive seen it in person. I actually saw it run a the 13.5 at moroso event. The car is not real clean but I give him props for doing it. THe install wasn't bad...a little rough...but ok.

I know the guy how own that car he sales all kinds of JDM engines; that how he got his the front clip he got the motor out of was hit up front, that's why he did not put the GT-4 front on. He told me the AWD conversion will cost $6000.00 . He's gave me a price on a 3S-GTE of $1200.00 with AWD trans & wire harnese(35000-50000-miles)if you live in south florida I have his number!
are you telling us that it costs 7200 for the 3rd gen swap and AWD conversion??
the guy that did the job told me $6000 for the whole job with the engine-awd trans& rear susp
I find it ahrd to believe that he will charge 6k for an AWD conversion and engine swap
