Sorry for the quality of the pictures but the camera was broken when we started this project ...

Lets do some wires tucking. ;)







Well I decided to cut the floor in the hatch and fab a new floor to put my battery box. It also save weight, remove 18 lbs and my new flor is 2.5 lbs. :cool:







Better be safe when you cut this floor ! ;) Don't forget to watch the gaz filler hose that pass near where I had to cut ...

Thanks Steve, will do my best I promise. :D

So how did you weld the new floor to the back part of the hatch? Did you bend it up and weld or rivet?
It looks cool, I guess but to save 16lbs, meh. Not worth it IMO.
I will use rivets to hold the new floor since it's in aluminium ... Well 16 lbs is not bad at all I think and it also looks awesome with the battery box on it. ;)

Ok, so it is in a garage in Canada and you are removing some stuff.

What parts or work is going into the car?
Plans when its done?
Hp Goals?
1/4mile goals?
Where did you get the car and how long have you had it? More info please.
The car will have a new exterior and interior paint and some serious body work. I don't really know when I'll be done with this project but it's going on it's way. :rolleyes:

The story of my DSM:
I got the car 3 years ago with 90 000 miles on it. The car was bone stock and not really good looking ... Well not good looking at all. :eek:

Anyway my T25 blew last summer so I put an evo3 with a SSaC fmic but now I'm hitting fuel cut ... Time for DSM-Link. I don't want to list all the new parts I have to install because I can't remember everything I bought ... ;)

Hp Goals? Well I will let the dyno tell me my whp when I'll be done but I want to be in the 400whp for sure.

Stay tuned

I was gonna do the same to my GVR4, but becuase of the contours on the VR4 trunk, I decided against it.

Looking good.

Need some advice asap ... I just realized that I need a new clutch for my setup. Well I want an ACT but I don't find the difference between 6 or 4 puck. By the way they are on sales at extremepsi.com ...

The car will not really be use in the street and I don't want to buy a new clutch when I will put a GT35R ... Can you guys give me some advice on which clutch I need and why ?
 
#23 ·
Well the unsprung 6 puck will do fine.

I don't really know if I should get an ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate good for 513 ft/lbs or an ACT Custom Extreme Pressure Plate good for 700 ft/lbs. :dunno:

The ACT Custom Extreme Pressure Plate is only 10$ more ...
