dude that is one sick ride! and its nice and shiney ;D you got show and go!!!!!

Excellent! You should try to move the plate from FMIC though.

Very clean car.Are you happy with the swap??
Upgrading the hood will be a good move,what do you think?
Very clean car >>

after you drive it around for a while to make sure everything is cool....get a boost controler and set it to 13-15psi with good gas in the tank...and get ready to **** your pants! haha

Very nice car. Particularly, I think you did a real nice job with the Vader kit. In general I am not a fan of that kit but it looks pretty good on your car - especially without that ugly Vader rear end. Well done to you and Dr. Tweak. Enjoy your car.

I'm with green. Everything about the Invader is pretty cool really minus the rear. Nice job Tweak! And a good buy Bboy. Have fun and be safe man. Be easy on the boost...ugh, gas lol! Um, it could go down a bit unless you're worried about scraping?

Nice car...one of the best looking ST`s I`ve seen in a long while engine aside. If your gonna up the boost make sure you have a metal head gasket (if you havnt already) or it will pop pretty soon. now go and torture some Scoobies hehehe.

im jealous. mad props to dr.tweak. and mad props to bboy on everything else. the car as a whole looks awesome. i dont see anything i dont like. keep it up bboy!

become a memeber of mr2oc.com and start reading every post in the 3sgte section. its really the best way to learn or search for any issues that may pop up.

Yes, your car is awesome...very clean! So, can you disclose how much you ended up paying Dr. Tweak?

dr tweaks price tag for labor as far as the swap goes was 1200 (engine swap w/ turbo reclock, tranny swap, auto-manual conversion, FMIC piping).
Misc. (parts dr. tweak ordered and trips to the welding/machine shop and xtra stuff like ac recharge, oil, exhaust done with flexipipe, and tons of other stuff) - about 1000
motor set - 2000
s54 tranny - 375
auto-manual parts - i think 300 in total since i got a few parts that werent right
FMIC and piping - over 500
axles - i think 150 for both
DP - cant remember... around 200?
walbro - 100
and tons of other stuff... i have a whole list with prices and stuff but i got it in my car...lol
ok well grand total for this swap was around the $6500 area. it cost a lil' more since my car was an ST and an Auto. >>

bboy

looks great
