Traded my junky SC300 (http://tinyurl.com/3bhlr2y
) I had for this thing.

Took all the 5speed stuff out of said SC and now we are throwing the 5speed stuff in the GS and since I have a bunch of NA-T parts that I was going to use on the SC, I guess put those on the GS too later down the road. The GS came with no trans, so it was that, or find a 97 trans.

Ripped out the dash, put the SC brake pedal on the GS braket.?


Ripped out the traction control pump resevior thing out, going to eliminate it along with ABS sometime next week.



AK cut off the dash bar mounting tab from the SC.? Held it up under the dash and it fit pretty snug, so next week we'll do some drilling after eliminating the abs and traction.


Here is all the left over SC parts that will probably go on the GS later.? Im worried the W-58 will explode just pushing around the GS.? But thats only because everyone says its going to explode.




Drilled out some spot welds on the pedal, bent it and tacked it back together. Still need to cut the pedal to get it exactly where I want it.

Test fit

Auto trans mount worked on the w58 luckily.? Ordered a drive shaft from Driveshaft shop today.

6 inch shifter extension

Got some brake lines done after eliminating the ABS and Traction pumps and lines.? Front lines are the same length, and rear lines are as well, so I don't think I should need a proportioning valve or anything.


And Got some BC's


Got the dash back in, finished up some pedal junk, finished up the brake lines, finished the shifter extension. Just need to mount the clutch and trans, bleed all the fluids, and waiting on my driveshaft from DSS
Extension mounted


Put eveything together, and now she runs and drives like a champ.
Did some stuff.

dude i love the custom work... im actually goin to the junkyard tomorow to get a clutch pedal assembly for my gs... did you make a template out of paper to find a good position to mount the pedal... also did you modify the firewall at all or just the pedal assembly itself... oh one more thing post up a picture of your clutch master cylinder too... thanks bud

Hert

Correct, the template was just to get positioning right and such. I tapped the firewall with a hammer to flatten it a bit because its at a slight angle. Other than that mainly the pedal was modified. I avoided posting a pic because it was kind of messy under the hood lol. I'll eventually clean it all up when I pull the motor in a month or so.

Here is another shot of the car. Half of it was dirty as a joke for the S3 booth at Formula D round 3 a couple weekends ago.

I have a couple of ? For you 1. Did you have to costume make the drive shaft to fit or you did it cause you wanted too?. And do you know if the driveshift from an sc300 would work. 2. Did you have to extend the shifter to fit or they way it sets would work? I have everthing from a 92 sc300.

Hert

My first post answers just about all of those questions.......stock driveshaft didn't fit, too short, im sure you may be able to find a half shaft from another car to make it work, I didn't have the patience to do so. There are pictures above of the 6 inch extension I had to make. I started with an sc300 stock shifter extension.

do you know if i would be able to us my stock halfshaft from my gs and us the front shaft of the sc? i have both driveshafts from both cars complet if not i guess im just going to have to make one...

Hert

Still too short. You might be able to make some supra combo work.

Sweet looking ride!Are those coilovers the extreme drop or regular?

Hert

I hear a 1uz cross member bolts right up . I've got an LSX motor laying around, I need to find something to put it in.

Thanks dude!

Regular. I'm gonna switch to the extreme drop ones, my rear is maxed and i'd like to at least go a half an inch lower.


Im gonna make a custom exhaust at my shop for it soon, VIP style and such, i'll keep you guys posted on the build, thanks for the kind words!
