sn95 right?

Yep!

And to make this thread bump worth it, very likely having a driveshaft made next month. Then fuel lines will be made and I will find out if I did my wiring correctly lol.

Nice to see a 5.0 swap instead of another LS engine!

Any info on your friends 2.3T car? I'm a 2.3T nerd and I'd love to check it out if he has a build somewhere.

Didn't even notice this post before, my bad! I've got no info on his build sadly, it was a friend of a friend. Supposedly it made about 500hp but it was a pretty unassuming FC. Kind of ugly and nearly stock outside, that's all I knew about it from a pic I saw.

And Skervey I also overlooked your reply somehow! The headers are some Chinese stainless, so no coating at all and we'll see if the stainless they used is any good lol

Ordered these little pieces for the heater hoses which will be getting put together soon http://jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_C...-splicers.html. And spent probably $20 on random bolts and nuts I'd lost somehow. Still hoping to get that driveshaft built next month, money's still a bit tight due to other projects and bills.

Current total $3205

I got some parts from a guy with a 2.3T swap in a FC Never saw the car run, he was parting it out so I got his shiftier he custom made to fit the T5 into the car. He said it was a blast and kept wit the "import" feel of the car. Most people had no idea it was a swap they just saw another 4cyl import car with a turbo. He also had a buddy that had a 2.3T swap in a FC but it was built and said to put 300ph to the wheels. I got the diff that he had in the car and it had enough power to brake the spud shaft with ease!

Haven't touched this poor thing in almost 2 months....kind of got off track. Went riding and immediately dumped money into a different exhaust for my quad (for absolutely no good reason haha). Sold my miata and picked up an 06 STi....back to the subie game. But the FC has just sat. Thinking I should get some work done on before I start dumping money into the STi.....

[Skervey]

Yes! keep the RX7 going!

[Monster Sipper]

Looks great man. Way cleaner than mine haha. Keep up the good work

[Skervey]

I think he sold the RX7 and has some motorcycle/quad projects now. Who ever bought it has a clean starting point!
