J5KE F 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Ok, for all of you guys who know my vr has started to undergo the op.It was brought to my attention the other evening at norice, there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what exactly we're up to.J5KE X (my 3 dr highline) is evolving to become fourwheel drive. In the early summer Cadguy, Seademon, SamVR6 and myself went out to the ring. I came back with VS 34C. A 95/96 mulberry highline syncro.VS 34C has been waiting till now, for the transformation to become J5KE X.VS 34C, will keep her original OBD1 2.9 engine and of course running gear. J5KEX will be donating the following:Smoothed Bumpers, Retrimmed front seats, Nitrous system, Complete Supercharger setup, Schrick (if compatible ), guages, sensors, Ice, wheels & finally release her number plate. She will keep the fk highsports, Infinity reference speakers, and will gain 2 standard front seats, a set of solitudes, 2 resprayed bumpers and maybe the polished schrick, then will be advertised for sale.J5KE X will then be assigned to the syncro.We'll be splitting the stage 3 intercooler setup and fitting a front mount nismo cooler, the rear doors are being de-locked and handles removed and smoothed, the tailgate is being filled and smoothed as are the swage lines. A total respray in mulberry will complete the look.Currently i am searching for a set of bearings for the charger & subject to them she'll be fully functional for e38.

J5KE F 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 huuuuuuuuge overdraft and absolutely no self control..shouldnt really spend so much i know but i just have to live on the edge.. bought my 1st house 8 years ago when prices werent too bad and that has funded most of my little projects. This project is being funded by my business and the lucky fact that my mechanic has a really dated pool in need of a big refurb! Link to post Share on other sites
cadguy77 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I imagine you'll have to chop half the bumper away to get the beast to fit? Link to post Share on other sites

J5KE F 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yep, the bumper is being butchered! cut, shut and modified to another level..5 door is handy with my little girl, makes life easier for many things, so thats why were goin with the smooth ass lookSorry Mark, schrick is being sold as first option with the car, if not it'll be goin up on the classifieds before the dreaded ebay!Anyways, heres the updated pics from todays little episode, where Sam found out how my electrics where installed..??!!!JakeX is now almost ready bar the software, bumpers and wings and retiring her plate.Hopefully VS 34C will be going under the airbrush by the weekend and will be having the coilovers, brakes and wiring sorted also.
