damn nice build...watching this for sure!

angeldunk707 · 02-28-2011, 11:41 PM

upcoming update will be fresh paint and start modifying S13 rear subframe

WanganRunner · 03-01-2011, 11:27 AM

This is terrific.

I don't even know why you'd want to do it other than maybe ease of engine work and a stronger/cheaper gearbox, but it's still fantastic.

also it weighs less than a WRX/STI swap, parts for SR20's are cheaper, and it simply was/is a dream of mine. best of both worlds!!! love the GC body style and love the feel of a SR.

TheClutchKicker · 03-04-2011, 11:18 PM

WOW! I cant wait to see this thing finished up.

Please make detailed videos also. this gives good ideas for my TOUGE MONSTER Project.

Fractur3 · 03-04-2011, 11:28 PM

Hah this is awesome!

WanganRunner · 03-05-2011, 10:02 AM

Now I want to see an EJ20T in an S-chassis

Can we get some pics at least?

irritatedmax · 03-11-2011, 04:26 PM

What started out as questionable is turning out really cool!

TheClutchKicker · 03-11-2011, 04:37 PM

Any new pictures? lets see some progress!

angeldunk707 · 03-11-2011, 05:36 PM

car is in the middle of paint right now. also waiting on an aero kit (possibly) give me 2 weeks fellas. just taking care of some bills then the car will be painted. I'm sure EVERYONE will agree on the color picked. Stay Tuned...

angeldunk707 · 03-18-2011, 12:35 PM

Update #5:
This is where the car stands as of today (3/18/11)
Ok so...basically why things have been going so slow lately is because i got laid off. So this is where the car stands. We started the body work and all paint supplies will be ordered next week. Also I started on the interior. Electrical was another thing that was started. We decided to mount the fuse box and computer directly behind the switch panel.

Im also working on making an S13 subframe work for my rearend issues, and making all s14 suspension components work for the front to help with the steering angle. Basically when finished this will be a GC body on a S-Chassis. Cross your fingers folks

angeldunk707 · 04-05-2011, 09:10 PM

Update #6:
This is where the car stands as of today (4/05/11)
So the past 2 weeks or so we have been focusing on the body work that was needed and also was thinking of an appropriate yet different color to throw on this car. I didnt want it to be too flashy. I just wanted a nice looking car. We eliminated the door body trim and filled the holes as well as made the trunk badgeless. I also did a bit of shaving on the front fenders. Anyone who is familiar with B-Magic fenders knows it has that inside lip...well since my stance is a lot wider than most GC's I cut out that lip (pictured). Also the center of the front bumper was cut out to fit the FMIC. Wiring will continue now that the car is painted. I should be posting the first start up video very soon. Enjoy.

I had to shave down the inner lips of the front fenders so they would scrape as bad. Also the front license plate holder and some other things on the bumper had to be cut to fit the front mount:

Moved into the booth right before paint:

After 12 1/2hrs being in the booth:

]

^^^Finished product. Went with a metallic forest green color. What we had was several different shades of green then mixed them all in one can and came out with this. The pictures dont do the paint justice. Once this is buffed out and i get a better photographer (other than myself) then you will see the true color.

irritatedmax · 04-11-2011, 01:23 AM

Great progress! I'm glad you left the body line. Shaved panels - especially doors - look dumb when you eliminate the body line. Can't wait to see assembled pics!
