You're forgetting two things... Pump gas, under $50K....

Not to mention that I live in commufornia...where I can't swap in anything older than the model year of my car or ADD turbos to a...well to anything that doesn't already have them...

Evo's look like shit...

Just get an evo8/9 ahah. Making a brz/frs awd is like making an evo or sti rwd. They both don't sit well with me. To each their own i suppose.

I can't park my car without turning around to look at it before walking away.

EVO's and STI's look like I'm taking my family to disneyland. That's what my wife's minivan is for.

They mentioned numerous times that if they weren't making production pieces out of this, it would have been done months ago. But they want it done right and as easily as possible so someone like you or I can do this swap on our own.

It's also nice knowing that they are trying to keep the OEM CANBUS functionality, unlike the WGP car which didn't have a functioning gauge cluster and who knows what else.

This is the info I was looking for! Thanks!

Do you think fabbing a Ford AWD sequential transaxle + ecoboost will be cheap? lol :lol:

Not at all. IF I do that though, my total costs won't put me above 50K though depending on which transaxle I go with, it might push a little over...

You've got to understand. I have access to CNC mills, gunsmithing accurate metal lathes and I would do EVERYTHING myself etc....

I also have a 3d printer and can do lost PLA casting for aluminum composite metals...

I'm not paying someone else to mod my own car. I do EVERYTHING myself...

I'm not most people so know that when I say something, it's because I can do it.

I haven't decided which route I'm going to go yet. I may just transfer the entire drivetrain from a wrecked camaro.

Holy shit Vorshlag is in Plano? Might have to be making a drive up there one day... when I have about $20k to spare

Want updates so bad!
