nobody has done it that ive heard of,travis started this project several months ago,so maybe thats what your thinking of

 

nice project! sweet idea but you might as well shorten the axles now for wider rims and tires to address the traction issues that its gonna have. I imagine with the turbo kit it will do pretty much what the 350z does. which will be insane wheel spin for the little grocery getter. is this being done locally?

 

travis is building this car in La.,about 40 miles outside of new orleans.you cant just shorten the axels to put wider tires in it,its fwd,now if it were rwd that would be easy

 

If anything, you'd want to leave the axles long and run a wheel with a huge negative offset to counteract the huge torque steer that motor is going generate.

 

Your probably thinking of the VG30 from a month or two back. I hope to hear more about both. Or at least this one, Im thinking this could be pretty HOT.

 

Yes this is my car. Yes the car is local. The car was last seen in Tampa with Revolution Autoworks Banners on it at the Sonic's on Hillsborough Back in like june or july. Every since then it's been out of state. I should be picking it up soon though and I'm sure you guys will see it around.

 

front mount fabricated. Travis plans for use of the stock specV mounts. The plan is for him to provide adaptors to go between the Spec V mounts, and the VQ engine brackets. no mods required.. just bolt it right in. He didn't clean or paint this one yet.. but, you get the idea.





Here's some pics of the passenger adaptor bracket.. Again, it has to be sanded/painted and ground in a few places, but the fitment is done.

 

Here are the latest pics...







These pics were taken earlier this week...

Anyway... The car started a few days ago. There were some pretty crazy wiring issues and fixing up the NATS module proper but the car started today, ran and idled fine.

Now it's just fixing some miscellaneous things and getting the Y-pipe done and this car will be done. Should be some video coming soon and more later when I take it to the track.

Are you leaving it NA?

 

Neato! Bring on the burnout vids. I hope you've upgraded the oem 215 bike tires!
