Made some progress on the car...
Finished up the diff rebuild and flange adapter plate.
I will clearance the subframe some and weld another plate across the bottom.
Here's the 5" exhaust vs my old 3" hahaha
Worked some on my crossover setup too
Front brakes showed up today, still need rotors.
I saw this picture online comparing gen 4 bottom end to gen 3 and I quickly decided to swap in the aluminum 5.3 I have.
Here's how it looks so far with the catch can in the corner too.
Next up I'm building the trans and setting up a trans pump to keep the gears cool. Still need to order a driveshaft, front hubs/rotors, and small things.Bang Gears & Burn Rubber.

Thanks guys, I'm going to step the exhaust down to 4" so I can fit it.
Just got all my 5 lug and brake parts on. Still need to finalize the caliper bracket and get proper quality rotors. Also ordered a set of work equips redrilled to 5x120 and the centerbore enlarged to 72.5mm. Next step is building the trans with a Viper main shaft too, if I can manage to find one not looking to good so far.

hope this doesn't come across as offensive, but how old are you OP? your picture makes you look real young, like 19-20.
if so congrats, you've accomplished way more than most of us have by your age (clean/sweet [still undecided about the square headlights though] car wise)Comment

Thanks, I didn't have any direction when I first started messing with cars at 18 but I've got it all figured out now.
The rear is about to go in so I can make brackets for the e36 cover to mount to.
Going to do a removable core support in the next few days just to make my life easier.Bang Gears & Burn Rubber.
