Default My r154 1J project

Hey guys, just thought id finally reveal my car here before the major transformation. The car is a 95 5spd and I will be getting my 1J r154 from JHOT in about a week or so and I will try to document as much as possible and take as many pics as possible too. I plan on doing the whole swap in my driveway with about 3 friends. If all goes well sometime next week the car will be running.

Here are some pics of the car....dont mind the 4x4 look as i just got my bilsteins in today!!









Now onto the car...





















Dont mind the torn parking break leather, a new one has been ordered

It will be very important when they do start leaking, a PITA to change.
