As welll as a good tune to maximize the NA POWER! lol

I just bought some Fortune Auto coils. Haven't gotten them there 16/14 No Swift Springs. Hopefully they ride good.

Bad. ***.

Seriously! I love the look and like where you're taking this. Don't want to be noisy, but, with the manual swap plus labor, what's it look like usually?

Considering this if it's not something insane, lol.

I don't mind, there's just one thing I will not tolerate, Bull*****.
The cost of doing a manual swap is about 5k-8k, It is not cheap at all. I have another car that will be going manual with 2jzgte VVTI.
R154- 1500-3,000
Custom DS- $500
collins kit- $2-3k

Theres a lot of little things and other major parts.

This is awesome man, I am jealous. Mine is still not ready to hit the track. I had a due date of April 2018. But its looking more like the end of August 2018. More power to ya, let me know if there is anything I can help with. I love to see the GS platform used for more things outside of the norm.

Haven't had a chance to take a good look. There are two project cars hogging up my driveway. I will try to finish the AE86 tomorrow and get the GS4 up on the driveway afterwards.

Meowmr2The car still has a lot of work left. Suspension, wheels, bodywork, fuel system. So lots of work scheduled for March. But things are moving along, this heavy car is in a diet. But any knowledge on the fat car experience is helpful.Thanks
