Right now the stock auto diff is going to stay, driveshaft shopping will commence very soon, but more than likely Driveshaftshop.com will handle that. As for the sub-frame, no pics of it cut right now, but will be getting the material to modify it this weekend and will try and get it all welded together by mid-next week.

^^I had seen that before, and the thing that won me over on the MK4, is they kept the stock airbox in place. If I still had my stock intake, I would probably do the same and keep it BFI.

The swap really isnt that hard, just time consuming.

, may also be coming soon if everything goes right..but wont be a MK4...but will be a track only car.




As for updates, I know a few have been waiting on news about the harness and a/c controls, well the harness will be finished this weekend, and the car will be started. I have been trying to get it done, but life tends to take over at times.

the lsx series motors are the best drop in motors out.... turbo lsx or 2jz????? i would pick lsx. its lighter, more displacement, more torque, sounds sexy!, for a v8 gets pretty good gas mileage stock.

whats there to loose!?

I wouldnt mind seeing an LSX Prius.... I do understand what your saying though. The LSX is a bit over played, but then again so is the 2JZ depending on what forums your on.

I hate how people put 2JZ-GTE's in everything, but I don't think that makes them idiots. Just a bunch of sheep.
