Sexy, sexy, and an RS1 to boot!

 

now wouldn't that be fun.

 

yeah theres some info on that on clubxb.com too....lotta work to get that to fit in...

 

Bethany would never let me do that, I can't even use a screwdriver by her's anymore

 

it looks like a lot of blood sweat and swears

 

ya i could only imagine how much time and effort went into that, along with tons of swearing.... that things rather sick

wonder if they had to move the dash back more to accomondate that massive motor

 

yeah... on clubxb theres more pics..... the whole transmission hump is raised up now...almost like a hummer... firewall moved back too a good ft i think

 

there are a few more pics here:

check out how high the floor is now!
The guy also has a link to a video on his cardomain in case no one noticed. IMO the video kinda sucks. He should have revved more it up more, but that's definitely a V8 in there!

 

if only i had a endless amount of cash

 

o i heard about that car...with the 350 thats nice...alot of work..

 

last i knew it cost him around 30k to do it all and now more additional greens... alot more work then a 3SGTE+AWD project...

 

If someone will give me one I will build it.............just a matter of finding a good solid closely sized frame from a car that has the motor tranny and rear still buthte body is trash...........and some cuttign and welding and such to fit the body to it.......cut the fire wall off and gut the floor and build from scratch a new pan and fire wall........plus while you are at it you can frame in a cage...........I did this to a Vega once..........same concept it would look better since it is not a Vega..........LOL

 

year 1990-1998 Calica All-tracs have VERY simular dimensions to that of the xB. wheels base is 1inch longer so the drive shaft would need trimming and rebalancing. otherwise, maybe some firewall massaging or small cut job and the rest should fit without much hassel =]

after the engine and tranny, it's just a matter of getting the front axel, driveshaft, rear diff and rear axel assemblies and you're good to go. a simple ST185 settup and you're good to 600hp/580lbs torque if you want that much power on soething that weighs only a ton
