TT time for the Panda - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

maTT · 03-23-2008, 11:39 AM

Some of you know that I've had a SOHC ATX daily driver for the past 4 years. I've often talked about putting a TT engine in. I've been trying to blow up the SOHC the past few years by running it dry on oil, coolant, and have not even changed the oil since early 2005. She has 246k miles but she will just not give up athe ghost!

Well I sold my blue stealth and now I am in major need of turbos! So I'm done waiting! Yesterday I assembled the bottom end and hopefully by the end of this week I'll have the longblock ready for it's new home. For the most part I'm using all old parts that I've had sitting around the garage. She is just getting all stock VR4 parts including 9B's and a '94 TT ECU and harness.

I'll take pics and maybe a video and keep everyone updated.

I was putting my bottom end together at the shop while matt was building the panda bottom end on Saturday. And he is using a bunch of used TT parts. Worse than when I was running SLTT.

Watch out JoMojr....Here comes the panda!

Dumb question, but why is it called the Panda? Am I going to regret asking?

Actually, It was the Porn Panda and recently turned into the Pickle Porn Panda....

Oh lord....

It's the porn panda. Base stealth, white with a black stripe makes it a panda and the porno red interior makes it a porn panda. Now I'm in the process of converting it to a 3000gt body so half of it is green. It's truely one of the ugliest 3S's ever...well, except the ones with aftermarket body kits

Actually, now that it's more green VR4 than white stealth base I don't think it looks half bad.
