What started as quick and easy conversion for a Grassroots motorsports 2000 challenge car. One thing led to another and before I knew it I had gone over budget.
I started with a V8 car with a bad engine so instead of another SBC or LS1 I bought a wrecked Subaru SVX for the engine. Then found a wrx transaxle with axles clutch and all parts needed. The engine and transaxle mounts were done over a couple of weekends. Then we got real busy at work and was not able to work on it for a couple of months. By this time I had changed my mind about the grassroots challenge car and figured I just fix it up. So a color change paint job was in order. I did this myself in the garage and had to wait until spring to shoot the paint. I've been driving now for a few days tuning the Megasquirt DIYPNP that I built over the winter. I guess its time to go get a tag and start driving. Bob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

Very nice looking shifter setup! Did you buy or make it? Cost? Also it looks like you still have the tailpiece on the trani, you converted that to FWD after the pic, right? Or is it running like that? Andrew I built the set up myself. The shifter is a $10 part from the pick n pull. The cables and joints are what cost the money. I think they were about $150 The picture is before I removed the rear diff. Bob (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Where did you get the cables and joints if you dont mind me asking? I'll need to get some for my Audi conversion regardless if I go automatic or manual. Toyota corolla shifter works eh? Gotta remember that the next time I scrounge for some honda parts. |
