Oh crap... #4

Absolutely change out the transmission also. I can't stress enough that it totally changes the dynamic of the car. In a good way.

so your saying that the dynamic is better with the VLSD? what does it change?

[808]

Well the full swap does. Totally different power band. But yes the VLSD in the center does make a large difference. I drove this car briefly before the previous owner swapped transmissions. It's so much easier to control and induce oversteer now.

I might go with a bpt set up someday.... plus I have a GTR tranny laying around...

I hate not have a spare transmission. This is the first car since my first GTX that I didn't have a spare. I'm buying plastic paint today, and hopefully painting my foglight grill to prep it for install.

Is the GTAe bumper a common item? I though they were a little on the rare side to be popping up everywhere. Are reps available?

[bighed323]

kind of old question but would replacing all the vac lines improve alot. i was checking all mine and noticed they are hard and formed around all the connections.

[808]

The GTae bumper is still hard to find... No reproductions that i know of... I know that parts of it are NLA but if you can find a place to get it from (which I'm working on) the bumper without the screens is available. This bumper is... at least 5 years old though.

[808]

Some minor tweaking is still needed... but its mostly there.

[anduril]

well since you have one, you could do a mould and sell them!

[808]

It's actually for a pre-facelift 323. So maybe I could.. but the hardest part for me is replacing the lamps as they're rusted and cracked lenses...

[Evilist]

Dude i really want that grill haha looks mean

[808]

It'd actually fit your cars too.. well the 85.. maybe not the 87.

Had a little meet and cruise up to Mt. St. Helens...
