this is my project..finally got after so long, still hadda do d exhaust so it eh finish yet.

d engine still need a lil cleaning but it gud for now.

[Monk BANzai]

nice man....tiptronic or manual?

when you ketch yuhself, conisder redoing the dowpipes to 2.5 inch into a 3 inch collector, and if you can, reposition th battery so that you can work on the intake and get a more fluid flow of air (and colder) from the front of the car. Key is to make the engien breathe better. You'll be quite pleased with the simple work to get the air flowing in and out of the air pump (engine).

What spring/shock setup you using though? car looks lower than stock..

[ralliartvr47]

its manual. im planning on putting d battery in d trunk so i cud get room for d intake. i wanna change d intercooler later on, but first i wanna put in a boost gauge.
i got a set of tein shocks and springs with d front cut but it not adjustable. d back is more-or-less d original height but d front lower and it riding nice still. i get a lower arm bar wit d front cut also and it blue but i dnt think is cusco.

if u want i cud get d part# on d shocks for u.

[Monk BANzai]

boost gauge and A/F meter....get an O2 sensor....doh mix matters with that...esp if you plan on playing with boost levels...stock is 12 or 14lbs i think....

hmmmm the lower arm bar...it install awreddy?

[ralliartvr47]

yea d lower arm bar already installed. i eh really do too much drivin wit it to feel d difference because i still hadda do d exhaust. i goin st. madeline to do it and i goin in d bamboo to see if i get an evo 4, 5 or 6 stainless steel exhaust and i go mod it to fit...

i doin d 3" exhaust now and later on i will do d 2.5" downpipes.

in de process of doing a vrg to vr4 conversion is there any other way to bolt up the rear suspension than to cut the floorin cause i saw some pics and boy that thing looks untidy and disgusting....appreciate input....and is there anyone who did the conversion will be glad to chat

Anybody who did it different reply to this guy....
There must be shortcuts to do this is Trinidad you know.





1st start off by finding the rear undercarriage bolt that needs to be moved to the front


cut around this square that is hiding the bolt


some replacement bolts/washers that should be welded together and then to the frame.



Here’s an under shot of what needs to be cut/moved


Next you got to find the front hole and throw/weld this bolt in there


Now that left is to remove the FWD Gas tank hangers that are in the way for the AWD Rear end
A regular drill will be able to drill through the spot welds and just hammer it off..


Done! AWD Rear Subframe bolted and mocked up!
