And found this:

s13 with firebird bodyparts...

I've been trying to see their "Custom t3 KA manifold" but the pictures don't enlarge when you hit the "Click here for enlarged picture" link.. So, while I went there for manifold pics, I left without manifold pics, and images the KA/TA. :duh:

I love it. I'd love it even more if it all fit right. I was even thinking of picking up a set of those old school wheels a while back. Cheap and nice dimensions. I would rock that sideways with my hillbilly helmet sticking out a T-top. +1 to XAT. Only thing I see wrong is the engine. The intake seems to be in the worst place possible to put it. Right behind the radiator. -1.

ya except they used the front end from like a 77 'Firebird and you used a pic of a 69 with a Six banger, hahahhahhahhaha.
Get your years and engines right. A 77 Firebird front end that they used would have either come with a anemic smogged down V8 or a smogged down V6 not a straight six.

I had a 76 Firebird with a 400 engine..That thing put out as much power as my SOHC KA and probably got 12mpg.

Sorry Max, but track or not , that whole front end swap is horrendous at best and hidous at least.
From a marketing standpoint, for a SR swap shop i.e. 240 based, that would be more of customer turn off than turn on. IMHO

gonna agree with you there... hell, the shit doesn't even match up, it looks like they struggled to get it to fit on there then once they got it on they just said "fuck this, we're done."

Well if you knew Casey, or anything about XAT, it isn't a turnoff to any of his customers, so for your "marketing" standpoint, you might want to do a little more research before you come on here, and give your 2cents "drift freaq"!! I personally love the car, the KA-T is putting more than 320 to the wheels, and he drifts the hell out of it.

Have you ever done anything because you just wanted to know if it could be done? Well that is why he did it. I think its finally something new, not plain honda-like bullshit we see all the time. I think it's inspiring to know that people can still do things that are different and fun to them. I know alot of their customer love it as well. It is better than some lame ass, done too damn many times, silvia conversion.

At least somebody has the balls to do something inventive and different!!

Next time.....Keep your "IMHO" to yourself!!

LOL I enjoy seeing any-old-front-end slapped on a 240

But wth does the turbo suck in the hot air from behind the radiator instead of from the stock airbox area?

hey revhigh, who the hell are you? I have done lots of things because I wanted to do them. All in good taste. hahhahahhahha
Why the hell did you even bring the Honda statement here. You seem to be pretty butt hurt about my opinion.
Defend your friends bad taste. I have no problem with that. Whats funny is you taking my own opinion so personally.
On top of that marketing wise, overall it does suck!! Most 240 customers would get very turned off by a shop doing that front end conversion here on the west coast.
Maybe in your hick of the woods doing that conversion works , hell their probably would be some hicks out here in socal that would like it. I am entitled to voice my opinion here and in this country. If you can't handle it then maybe you should move to another country. Don't tell me not to speak, just because you don't agree on the fact, that you and XAT have extremely bad taste,in my opinion.

P.S. It was posted on a public website and a forum by someone else not me. A public forum which pretty much means, that I can voice my opinion, whether you like or not. I think you need to check yourself here.

my honest opinion is this is getting locked

revhigh youre a bandwagon jumper for sure, and you might even work at xat

that car is fucking ugly to high hell

and wow 300+ hp to the wheels, thats huge

furthermore drifting doesnt take 300 hp

and in closing i hope you choke on your apc tail lights for you knock off trans am, that im sure youre emailing to get made

i think th conversion is funny as hell...as a joke its cool...putting the intake behind th radiator is a turn off because it shows customer how big of a dumbass you can be when it comes to building engines...

ps rev high your a moron...imho

hahhaha , you don't even know me, Ya I am stuck up and a retard and Cali is the asshole of country, do I sense a little envy going on here? Nice how you resort to name calling and cussing over an opinion. Your really winning points here for XAT with that attitude and language. hahhahhahhahhaha
If I was XAT I would be telling you to stop right now, before you make XAT look any worse. On top of that you try to disqualify it by saying who cares. Obviously you do .
Congrats on putting your foot in your mouth. You've been OWNED!!!

+1 for originallity. But should have used a v-mount intercooler, since 75% of the fmic is being blocked off anyways.

Damn, WTF... It's pretty cool, but the body doesn't fit together very well... Meh, + for Original but - for straight bad engineering. Wth is up with the intake, what dumbass put it there? V-Mount Intercooler?, not to be expected by the same people that put the intake where it is, sheesh...

eh, isn't the purpose of a fmic to get air to actually hit it? That huge piece in front of it sure doesn't help.

My sr20 BARELY used to get me by with 205/15's. 214whp. THen i put the 17's on and it wasn't even fun anymore.

Your friend is probably doing a lot of parking lot 2nd gear stuff, which doesnt require much power.

Just break it to him nice and easy. Tell him ne needs to get a v-8 in there.

11-07-2005, 11:47 AM
Well he actually shreds the Ocala track which is mostly 2nd gear stuff, 3rd gear if you have the balls/skills for some of it.
