What do you guys think?

I think that's incredible. That's my ultimate plan for my son's R3. Verrrrry nice.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steering?

Now this is how you start an LS swap thread.

Final build price? Just curious...

:lol: more than you want to know.

Holy shit.

Looks good! I feel like it's kind of a sleeper haha

Car looks good other than the V8 under the hood!!!

It's F'in SWEET!! :)

Needs more tire yo!

I bet it didn't take a year.

So sick. Clean swap!

Whew... Intense... Not gonna lie...

Impressive execution!

Damn.

Total cost? Nice and clean swap

Touge Factory does it again!!

Very nice indeed... :worship:

Looks awesome. I usually hate v8 swaps but that looks so nice in there.

Slightly sad to see a transplanted R3. But you did an incredible job!

What did the weight and front/rear distribution come out to be?

Looks great!

:Eyecrazy:

Fuck yeah! That looks titties. Good work.

please tell me he is not running this thing with the stock size rear tires--and WHAT STEERING SETUP did you use?
You will soon have a market for this conversion kit---i bet.

They used the Hinson kit. Apparently one made it out AND fit.
