No wonder you didn't stop to weigh your car ... the smile on your face was kickin Without being redundant ... congrats on everything, Richard! After a few drag events with bigger turbos and not comparable times and still sticking to it all ... it finally paid off

hah, I was not at all expecting to drive back to a cheering mob walking towards me.. felt as though I broke a 3/s record!

I am very happy that everything finnally fell into place and my car is now 95% closer to where I want it to end up (for now at least). Just another diff and a set of heads away

Oh, my car has had quite a few aftermod bugs, luckily not with the AWD conversion. One thing I have learned through the years is to mod once, and mod correctly.. that lesson has definantly paid off in the long run.

P.S. I don't care if it's in the Wiki because I am willing to bet about ~5% of 3Si uses it.

It would be nice to see a sticky about this just to keep these threads from showing up, mine or not..

I would be willing to bet practically none of 3si uses wiki either (I know I don't), thats why I haven't been in a huge hurry to get the info up on it, although I eventually will.

Dude, you're the fastest AWD converted car aren't you? And you're like the second fastest Z11 chassis code car aren't you?

Awesome job on the conversion and this thread.

Excellent thread! A great read and a great story! Congrats to you!

Congrats man! Those pics sure brought back some memories for me. Made me want to get off my ass and bring "The White Whale" out of hibernation.

I wish I had had access to all the equipment you did when I was doing my conversion. The install looks very clean! I still can't get over cutting and welding on the primary structure of the car, but that's just my pesky engineer brain talking. I suppose it did let you avoid the driveshaft issues that I ran into, though.

Good job all around!
