I am putting a vg30 into a 89 coupe. feel free to discuss, talk crap, say that the vq is better, cause it has more power and more aluminum, etc...
point being, vg is enough power (for now)
weighs little more than a stock ka
and best case scenario, it was free! (and attached to a complete j30), so it has most if not all the best of budget things
j30 brakes
5 lug
lsd (j30t)
a big v6 (i dont like to drive rwd under 2.5L)
did i mention free?
things i will buy..
300zx trans
custom driveline
the rest will be all godspeed parts, and i will have the seams welded and the fronts "tubbed" for increased steering angle.toe arms boxed braced like the nismo, except, well free (except for sheet metal)
total cost, to get it running? ihope less than $500.
total build time? hope to have running before december. why build this? i hate difting my lexus, i love it it's super fun, but it is / was a clean car and want to keep it running strong (dd and drifted weekly w/ 215k on motor)
see ya on the track
