day two...

haha yeah. they're not the worlds strongest boxes, but with it only driving through two wheels and the car being a lot lighter than a wrx, it should hold up ok i think. also, the only 'dragging' the truck will see won't be the type with two lanes and starting lights...

[Okin]

What about a 911 gear box? I'm sure it will hold up better to a V8 than the WRX.... Just saying.


And yes, I have had my fair share of Subbies and I have restored Porsches.

Nice teardown on day 2, impressive. How cheap are LSx motors over there?

yeah thats the box i wanted, but they're about $5-7k over here, whereas i bought a subaru wrx sti 5 speed for $400 and an almost brand new forester (diesel) 5 speed for $200. converting it to 2wd is another $300.

they're about $4-5k i think, so a bit out of my price range for what i want to spend on this build. probably too much torque for the little wrx gearbox too anyway... haha

I like the fact that there is a new clip when I wake up in the morning, it's a nice way to start the day!

Oh... And the fish & chips.. Nice one..

I really like the wheels that are currently on the truck, i personally would work with those, they look 3 piece are those stock??

unfortunately they're fake splits that i got for cheap (just to get it legal). they're 6 stud and only 15's, whereas i was keener to drop it on 5 stud 18's. i did consider putting my bbs wheels on it (17x9's and 17x11.5's) but it would've been too wide in the back. the way im setting it up, pretty much any wheel that fits a full size merc or audi will fit on this, so there are plenty of rim options in the future

and thanks to everyone for the nice comments. ill let my flatmate know (he's doing the editing for me)

cheers
