jdm h22a ordered from intec racing (don't ever go through them, they wont stand behind what they sell!!!)
full kit from andysautosport (new paint was a must considering the ugly stock yellow it was)
quantum tech 18's wrapped in toyo proxes
lowered 1.5 in on eibach drop springs(was 2 but the new engine sat to low, had to raise it up)
wing(soon to change, haven't decided which one to switch to yet)
i cut out all the worthless crap between the header and muffler and ran straight 2.5 in.
i had to order custom halfshafts from THE DRIVESHAFT SHOP in carolina to fit the specific length. anyone needing special axles call them up. they were extremely helpful!
dc sport header
custom engine mounts
tinted windows all the way around, windshield included
2 10 in. MTX 4500's (not the best but they pound alright)
first thing was to gut and clean the engine bay
the floor tunnel had to be modified for the new shifter to fit
dropin' it in
custom made mounts (i painted them before i finished)
dc sport header
tight fit but it will go. you can see the wiring nightmare in the background. definitely the worst part of the swap.
and the finished product. it definitely throws you back in the seat. dyno printout and time slips to come.
i decided the subs and rear seat weren't necesary so i gutted it. not a huge difference but cutting weight is the same as adding power so...
once the h22 was in i quickly realized that the stock exhaust would not work. to much back pressure, horrible sound...no good. so the car went up on jack stands and the 2.5 in straight pipe was welded up and put in. problem solved.
anyway this is the exterior, not to bad for a car thats almost 20 years old
e mail me any questions or comments you have, i don't read my mail much but ill try to get back to you.
