Very nice car. Particularly, I think you did a real nice job with the Vader kit. In general I am not a fan of that kit but it looks pretty good on your car - especially without that ugly Vader rear end. Well done to you and Dr. Tweak. Enjoy your car.

I'm with green. Everything about the Invader is pretty cool really minus the rear. Nice job Tweak! And a good buy Bboy. Have fun and be safe man. Be easy on the boost...ugh, gas lol! Um, it could go down a bit unless you're worried about scraping?

Nice car...one of the best looking ST`s I`ve seen in a long while engine aside. If your gonna up the boost make sure you have a metal head gasket (if you havnt already) or it will pop pretty soon. now go and torture some Scoobies hehehe.

[right][snapback]330756[/snapback][/right] dr tweaks price tag for labor as far as the swap goes was 1200 (engine swap w/ turbo reclock, tranny swap, auto-manual conversion, FMIC piping). Misc. (parts dr. tweak ordered and trips to the welding/machine shop and xtra stuff like ac recharge, oil, exhaust done with flexipipe, and tons of other stuff) - about 1000 motor set - 2000 s54 tranny - 375 auto-manual parts - i think 300 in total since i got a few parts that werent right FMIC and piping - over 500 axles - i think 150 for both DP - cant remember... around 200? walbro - 100 and tons of other stuff... i have a whole list with prices and stuff but i got it in my car...lol ok well grand total for this swap was around the $6500 area. it cost a lil' more since my car was an ST and an Auto.  bboy -------------------- ..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi.. |
