UPDATE: OK, need the money ASAP so dramatically lowering the price. Got almost 14k into this thing in just parts so 8k is a killer deal for someone. If I cant make a deal tomorrow or Tuesday, I will be parting this thing out (which is a shame since I just finished it) pm me or email at [email protected] ([email protected]) if interested. The 8k is FIRM, so serious buyers only please. Here are some more pics I took today on the better camera. The body kit is not perfect but hey, its a drift car. I havent finished the extra set of fenders yet or putting the front bumper back on so these pics are without. One thing I forgot to mention below is the car is a 95 with a full kouki conversion on it (including hood, lights, bumper, widebody kit, rear lights, etc.) Neways, buyer gets an extra set of fenders too.

Threads were combined - please read down for new pictures- thanks!




Ok, so I have really enjoyed doing this swap and I got to take the car to the track yesterday and it was a blast. Unfortunately, I have run out of money to continue the LS S14 venture so I need to sell it. I want to keep drifting so I am open to trades + cash (obviously the cash amount would differ depending on the car being traded) I am looking for a cheap car to beat up while I learn to drift, and my LS just isnt that. It sure is fun to drive though. Keep in mind, I have built this car to be street legal in CA because I wanted to daily drive it so it has ALL the emissions parts from the camaro including air pump, egr, cats, charcol cannister, and all 4 o2 sensors. If this was to go to any other state or become a straight drifter, this could all be removed, the engine tuned and longtubes put on to boost power that much more. So, as for cash only , make me an offer if you dont have a car to trade, just no low-balls please. (I know most folks on this forum know what goes into building one of these)

I have a build thread on here so you can follow the progress as I have gone through the build (includng video of it running):

Here is a list of everything I can remember it has:
- ls1 pulled from a wrecked 99 camaro, 48,000 miles and a new clutch (ported throttle body, new water pump, new power steering pump, new belts, GTO oil pan)
- t56 (works great but 3 gear is a bit touchy) w/ HURST shifter and internals
- new thermostat and housing
- walboro fuel pump
- k&n Ca street legal intake
- all cats and emmisions equipment (the car has multiple exhaust leaks cause I will admit I am a crappy welder so those will need to be fixed)
- The car retains A/C (not filled or leak tested yet) and is converted to work with the LS motor
- full JDM kouki conversion (head lights, fenders, front bumper, tail lights) - the running lights have been converted to turn signals) - there is body work that needs to be done, I have an extra set of fenders that will go with the car as well - the ones on it will be removed and the ones I am working on will be put on - primered like the rest of the car (also all lights work - even the jdm dash conversion (white kind)
- full body kit (sideskirts, rear and front bumpers - widebody -
- new megan fully adjustable coilovers all the way around
- every different type of suspension link you could imagine (1 in the front on each side, 2 in the rear on each side, and a stiffening link in the back between the 2 axles - all are megan and new(ish) http://www.silviav8forums.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

KIT INFO AND SWAP PARTS USED
- Daft kit (includes modified crossmember to fit the GTO oil pan, 25 ft braided fuel line, wilwood clutch master cylinder and cnc'd adaptor plate, steel braided clutch line, steel braided high pressure power steering line, trans mount, one piece steel driveshaft (fully balanced), energy suspension trans bushing, daft cnc'd swaybar spacers and cnc'd motor mounts)

- NAPA fuel filter/pressure regulator mounted in trunk
- NISMO LSD (yes the very expensive kind may or may not go with the car depending on the offer)
- Mishimoto Alluminum radiator and ebay fans (which work just fine)
- s14 temp sensor and head steam relief mounted in top radiator line ( if you look in the pics of the build thread its the red line in the fron of the engine)
- Wiring all done by me so while its functional, its not the prettiest thing (im sure it can be cleaned up some)
- heater lines also modified to fit s14 so that works too
- pretty much the full interior was put back in including carpet with fresh "carpet paint" and a black leather back seat http://www.silviav8forums.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
- Reverse lights work via a switch which switches the solenoid and the lights on at the same time
- OBD2 port fully functional and accessible
- both s14 cloth seats in good condition with dash with only 1 minor crack
- has a brand new (to me) - old model but first time it was ever hooked up was 5 days ago, pioneer cd player with 3 pre-amp outs if you care http://www.silviav8forums.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
- stock 17" g35 wheels
- full 5 lug conversion with long studs in the back for a killer offset
- while not z32 brakes, there are brand new rotors and pads all around
- I also have a set of 26 milli z32 brakes to throw in for whoever buys the car, just havent put them on yet

The issues still

- no front grille (in between the lights)
- exhaust leaks causing all sorts of codes on the obd2

If you have ever driven one of these, they put the power down, if you are interested throw me some offers - PM me or email me at [email protected]

Here are some more pics - keep in mind Im still working on the body, these were taken a couple weeks back

Dang, this is a legit car/motor setup. The motor sounds amazing in this car and he put alot of work making it carb/street legal. Good work and a bump for you. Legit seller!

was this really bar'd?

psycle123
10-24-2010, 02:24 PM
was this really bar'd?

No,
I ran out of money to get it barred. Thats one of the reasons I am selling it. It currently has every part needed to make it street legal and I have had many conversations with the ref to make sure of this. The only thing is as I have previously addmitted, Im a crappy welder and it has plenty of exhaust leaks right now due to that fact. You cant get it smogged until the check engine light is off, which wont go off till the exhaust leaks are fixed. Currently, if I clear the codes, no check engine light comes on until you rev the motor, caused by the leaks. However, once those are patched, the car should be able to be smogged with no issues. It has:

- AIR pump
- Camaro Charcoal cannister
- camaro fuel pressure sensor
- both camaro cats in their original positions
- all 4 o2 sensors
- obd2 port hooked up for the smog shop

It probably wouldnt take much money to fix this or if you dont want to go street legal, you can always rip out all the cats, o2 sensors and get them programmed out of the computer for added HP and make it a straight drift car. I wish I had the money to finish it, but that just makes it a great deal for somone who does!

Hope that answers all your questions and thanks for looking!

Lol trying to see what people are willing to pay- testing the waters I guess you could say. I got about 14k invested just in the parts and the car. I have it listed on craigslist now for 10500 for a quick sale. Would be willing to work, just no lowball offers please :)

Hey where did you get that air intake set up at? Looks alot better than the usual 90° bend with a straight pipe and filter i see with the lsx swaps.

Bump and good luck with the sale.

Got it from k&n its for a 2004-2006 gto - only street legal intake in CA, glad you like it tho :)

have you taken it to get it bar'd yet, what did they say? i want a v8 and am not sure why i am interested but i am, how much $ would you sell it for

Please read up, have not taken to get it bared but have spoken with the ref and its ready to go other than the exhaust leaks causing the codes. Im selling the car for 10k firm for a quick sale. Please see the quotes below:
