Oil pan and trans are really the only things. I just worked with what I had.

You made really good points on using what you had, was just wondering. Cutting and modifying the trans tunnel really seems like the worst part after figuring out the mounts...

Maybe an SR would be even easier?

here's what you do...get me some drawings of your motor/trans mounts...I want one!

Not sure if this has been covered, but if you had gone straight RB25 do you think it would have all been easier? Seems like you referred to using 25 parts a few times as a possible alternative, implicating it would fit easier?

LOVE the work that went into this, seriously amazing.

I think that if the wheels were a different color it would make it look much better, and [as stated] if the tails were different it would give the car a much more finished look.

If YOUR happy, then Im happy for you though.

Pretty cool to see these in print.

S3 magazine. The only place I know that sells it around here is Border's though.

I say keep the color and car the way it is. You created a beast with a unique look.
Eff what everyone else is suggesting. I read the whole thread and find it annoying that people keep trying to tell you how the color should look and what color the flares should be.
It is freaking wild and out there so props!
