just had to announce, i have completed my st185 into a 95 ST swap. it honestly wasn't all that hard. do your homework so you know what parts you need to buy and it all just "falls together".
special thanks to: my brother anthony, dave (DG performance), jeff (defgeph) and everyone that has helped me along the way. pictures to come shortly. |

Awesome man.! i didnt cut any wires till after the swap was completed and running. and i only cut out the fuel pump relay... and a total of 2 holes were drilled. didnt get my hands on the a/s or ps parts yet so there still not 100% i plan on getting them working thou too. the power different from the 7a to the 3s is day and night. im sure i dont have to tell anyone that. it boosts very smooth and strong. the car has torque period. tidy up a few more things and i know theres a very small margin of cars on the roads around here that can touch it. and even than they'll be extremely nervious. the car is scary fast. |
