So the day has come. My swap is ready. A big shout out to @THWOLF00 for selling me his engine.
The day started out by remowing the sr20 and getting everything ready for the v8 Powah.  I had to buy a new front bar and custom make the engine mounts, also the wiring was a bit of a hussle, in the end i did get everything working exept the speedo.  Since the new engine was a quite a bit heavier i also invested into new suspension adjustable everything.  There was also another thing that i did but didnt document, it was stripping the interion only leaving the dash and floor carpets. Now the car had to pass some extremely serious tests, like how much power does it make, the only way to get accurate numbers is going to the track. The anwser to that question is about 5 skids per section, thats a quite good number.  The second test is the handling, also some extensive testing was done. The results slidey AF.  And lastly how it sits, since i got adjustable coilovers i could go low if i wanted to so i tried it out. You tell me how it is. (also i suck at photoshop and i used tutorials from youtube, but i tried, thats the end result.) After the rain stopped PIC:  The Verdict: The power is good, the suspension is good and it sounds mean. The engine is really big and thats the reason im running without the hood, but i doubt that it will ever go on the streets again. Now im looking for a cheap daily. All in all i believe that i made something special, and whoever doesnt like it can suck my smoke cloud  Added 46 minutes later: Say hello to my new daily, picked it up from craigslist for 2k  I dont know yet where i am going with it but soon...
