......and so it begins! Surrounded by GT-R's the BadBish is in the shop on the lift and getting ready for it's next life. Engine/trans/front cross member, radiator will be coming out tomorrow. The car will be going RWD for those of you who haven't heard yet. The same 2.3RPM I've had in the car for a few years now will remain. I'll be using a Janis Transmission TH400 with the full factory front and rear suspension. The only cutting to the car will be very minimal to fit the bell housing to the firewall and that will all be tastefully TIG welded in to look like stock. We will be releasing some new parts along the way, one of which is a new intercooler design. The weight bias on the car should be better than it ever was/could be with the factory driveline and the handling, realistically should be improved. The plan is to use the factory rear end/axles to start and if they won't hold up I will put in the 3000GT rear end and some upgraded DSS rear axles, that will hold up for sure. The car will not be running a trans brake, so the shock to the driveline will be minimal. The same shifter assembly I built for the current clutch less 4 speed will remain with all the factory interior and center counsel.

Love it or hate it, this is what's happening with the car. I'll post pics and progress on the project. If all goes well it will be mobile within a month!

 

Sub'd and excited for updates!

 

love it, sub'd.

 

sub'd this sounds awesome!

 

hate it.

 

nice, in for progress and results!

 

Awesome

 

In for the finished product!

 

love it and hate it...cant wait to see how it progresses!!

 

+1. But will follow regardless. Is this still cheaper than a sequential gearbox?

 

Will be following your progress closely DB.

 

Looks like the streetcar aspect will be thrown out the window then. Good luck putting power down and besting 7.8's

 

sub'ed

 

Sounds interesting, can't wait to see the results!

 

I'm interested in doing this once you have everything squared away, and if you decide to sell a kit.
