Tanuki Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 ^haha have you ever driven with a tall shifter like that? It's actually pretty awesome. We'll see what I find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I like the plan for the dash. Good luck with the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 ^Thanks I will keep this thread updated. I welcome positive criticism as well. I got started in my search and sure enough the motor was advertised as an R33 RB26, but in reality was from an R32 So now I am back on the search for a motor/ trans. The guy at JDM of Miami was very very easy to work with through the confusion including a full conversation of 3-6 emails on Christmas day. I was given a full refund within a couple of hours of talking to him as well. I did not have to file a dispute or pressure him. He admitted it was an accident and gave me my money back. Now to find something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorfin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I would recommend Karim... and many others will. His user name is racer98. He is known for quality motors. And he knows his stuff too, nothing like your incident should happen with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Now that kit looks nice. Just be sure not to pay by money order!! PP or even better, use a Visa or Master Card. Have fun with that bad boy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Oh the Beauty of Forza. Here are a few pictures of how I want the paint to look. I haven't decided exactly how much black there will be though yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am looking for a pan and pickup now. The motor shipping has the awd pan still, so I need a pan and pick up I can mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I ordered this kit today. I really wanted to keep the original lines on the car, and just enhance them: but I am doing the carbon fiber fenders and the carbon fiber BRE wing in back. It wasnt much more to upgrade from the fiberglass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Ricer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I can't PM you back because it hasn't been 30 minutes, but the pan i've got is the rear sump. Let me know what you want to do. I'm willing to work with you on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
