Great progress. Keep it up! :tup:

The car looks great in person, cant wait to see her go!

Thanks for letting me borrow that cam. Did you order rims yet for the slicks? Your getting a lot done, there alot of stuff going on with that car lol.

i would have liked to help yesterday, but was in jail.

Woot

I am taking tonight off then raping it more tomorrow. I ordered new rotors today because I suck at not buying everything lol.

Also I am thinking of running nt-01’s as my street/track tire so I can save from having a separate set of track wheels and tires. Anyone have a better plan? right now I have 16 tires and 14 wheels for this damn car. I would LOVE to get it down to
4 track/street wheels tires nitto nt-01’s
2 drag wheels/tires et drags
2-4 wheels I can mount some meh tires on for if I want to try some drifting(nothing srs just some fun)

[frustration]Anyone thinking of doing a build like this ever I urge you to not do it. I swear I am so bitter on how many things have gone wrong with this build that I am going to sell it once done. Anyone want an ls1/fd?[/frustration]

Basically I have spent 10hrs trying to make my new headers fit. One is in but I am sure it will smash into the subframe once the car starts and the other…well lets say the best plan I have so far is to cut the floor out. Should have bought a 996TT like I had originally planned. FML

I’m a lot more envious of someone with an lsx swapped fd then a 996tt. Especially if they did the swap themselves and know the car like it’s part of their body. But once I get my millions from the Nigerian prince I invested in I’ll probably own both though.

It’s been a bitch Cougar but when we get it done itll pay off.

Besides, you’re not the only one that has blood, sweat or 4 loko induced tears into the car. Were gonna get er’ done.

Once it done you’ll be happy you did it!!! Your making great progress, keep it up :tup:

it’s done

my god this car gives me nightmares. i guess in my sleep last night i kept yelling at the g/f to “give me the god damned oil pan”.

roffled my waffles here :lol:

So is it “done”? This car is way cooler than a store-bought 911, IMO.

not yet. still a good amount of work left in her.

…don’t buy Hinson shit. Ever.

That blows.

You’ll forget all about these problems when you’re out busting some heaters :tup:

I think I am dropping the front subframe to get the other header in. Its that or cut a huge hole in my floor. What makes me real mad though is you can tell that they are going to bang the subframe anyhow once running lol.

the mounts are that flexible? What is the clearance like? 1/8, 1/4 1/2 inch?

They are really not that flexible 1/2" maybe, and with the header thats in there, it hits the subframe when the motor is let back down.
