got my tax money and figured why put a v8 in the ae101 when i could buy a v8 rwd car for $3100 (yes i paid for it :oops:) got wheels and coilovers with what was left.got a little money saved for the manual swap. going to weld up the diff and put a can on the back and thats it. should be good enough for ggp events.ill take pics of sitting on the xxr 006's tomorrow.

also the car was in damn good shape.137,000 miles, interior is almost perfect.no dents. needed a gauge cluster.(fixed) vss.(getting with w58) steering column tilt issue(fixed) posible auto trans issues. will be replaced by manual in the next couple months. no stereo. need to fix :action46: at least the motor sounds good. wont make the march 17 event but hopefully drifting manual on the next event.

new wheels and coilovers. they are c8sport coilovers the megans only had 8kg springs in the rear. these are 14 and 12. the wheels are stated above.

Image
Image

the wheels need spacers and bigger tires in the rear. 215 35 18's stretched on 18x9.5's

Image
Image

and a clean motor and better interior shots.

I have 2 automatics, one sans bell housing, both good if you need to hold you over till a manual swap.

the issue i have is a shudder at 2000 rpms. it also feels like it slips as you apply power when cruising in forth. but its just for a split second. feels like a slow applied shift maybe a leak on that circuit. little bro swears its the torque converter clutch but it does it with the od off and when i unlock the tcc with the brake when cruising with the od off there is no change. the fluid is not burnt so im not too concurned and im fairly sure it will last till i get the manual in.the offer is appreciated and if something fails i might hit you up. other than that it lays rubber without issue.

new pics when its done raining.
