  • What I did on my holidays

    Last week I was on holidays from work and I spent far too much time in the garage on my project 93PGT. Today I returned to work with bloodied hands, a few body scrapes and a big sense of accomplishment.

    Here is what was:



    and then:


    and here is what is now:






    I felt like "King of the World" test driving around our townhouse complex waving to my neighbours with a big sh*t-eating grin on my face. I have two small things to fix over the next few days: ABS light has been on since the swap so I'll pull those codes tomorrow and the door ajar light stays on . I love this car. She has every option possible, only 170xxx Kms and sexy rio red paint. I may put on a paint matched Mach 1 lip though still undecided on that.

    Had to share,
    -Jens

                      Nice swap, I'm sure its a great feeling going from auto to a 5spd. The engine looks nice, w/ the additions.

                          I did that when I swapped my transmission.

                            great job on the swap i bet its like a whole new car now. with the abs light my guess is one of the front sensors got messed up when you pulled the axles it happened when i did my clutch. get an dvom and check the ohms on the plug and if there is no resistance than it is bad.
