Sup members?
I wanted to get my thread going even though I can't post pictures right this moment, but I figurerd I'd lay down a small story at least. The story goes, I recently threw a bucket shim in the head in my 2nd gen 3sgte motor about 3 weeks ago, soon after that, I decided, that was the sign to end the current project and start a new one like I've been wanting to do for a while now. I then came across Pipes and his GT4 clone shell for sale. So, I picked up the shell and now I begin my new journey  I'm not sure what my goals are for the car but I will keep this thread alive with thoughts and questions for sure! I can't wait to get your input and for you to see my output. Gosh I am excited!!! Stay tuned! This post has been edited by FWD-3SGTE: Jul 5, 2012 - 3:12 AM |

I'm not sure of the exact plans but I wanted to keep it more subtle than my 184. I still want to do a 4pt cage in the rear, fuel cell instead of the low hanging stock tank, some sort of suspension upgrading, stock GT4 brakes will do and I'm not sure on the motor though, 3sgte or supercharged 1mz/3mz?
Time frame? I would love to have it together and drivable by the spring time but who knows. I don't like to set "finish dates" anymore because they always fall through
