Hi Daniel, which swaps have you done in the past and how hard will it be to wire the L92?

**Bebop** · 01-24-2011, 09:45 PM

Reason for choosing the vert?

**SinisterDesigns** · 01-25-2011, 12:00 AM

@alex
Ok list of swaps....hmm well I used to do lots of honda swaps, other then that its a handful of just random swaps. Wiring isn't usually an issue. To be honest my brother is the wiring master. He can pin and un pin ecu connectors and do all kinds of crazy madness. He adds and removes things out of factory harnesses for me, and when he is done you ususally cant tell he was there. I also have him re pin all my broken plugs. I like harneses on motor swaps I do to look factory and have hold downs.

@ Blaze.
Why not a vert? Acutally we originally were doing two cars and we just thought it would be cool to have twin verts. The other car is still being built but not this extensively and wont be doing a whole season.

Ok its been a busy hectic few days. We made up a diff adapter to install a Z32 diff, and installed R33 axels. We did the 5 lug conversion on the back and made up the brackets for the hydro E-brake calipers. Also picked up so shiney toys.

**Justin Banner** · 01-26-2011, 06:43 AM

There any way you can get more photos of the caliper braket you made? I'm interested in that.

**alex** · 01-26-2011, 08:25 AM

thanks for the update Daniel , which headers are you using?

**SinisterDesigns** · 01-27-2011, 01:02 AM

Alex im using just some chepo ebay LS3 headers. Im just using them for a base and im going to chope them and make them fit. They actually almost fit perfectly.

**SinisterDesigns** · 01-27-2011, 01:09 AM

Thanks. I'm thinking of doing a similar deal on my S12.

**SinisterDesigns** · 02-04-2011, 12:19 PM

Ok people I am alive. The whole shop was down for a week. One of us had bronchitis and the other two of us got strep. We did manage to chop up the headers and do a couple other things. I will start back in on the project today. We have basically no time to build this car so this should become quite the show. I will post pics later today we have quite the collection of nice parts mounding up here.

**Bebop** · 02-04-2011, 12:27 PM

On that note....SICK BUILD!!! lol

Why not a vert?

I always questioned the rigidity of the verts... but once you get seam welded and caged it kinda throws all that out the window.

**SinisterDesigns** · 02-06-2011, 12:17 AM

Ok I am posting random pics from the last week of our total sickness. This weekend has been a tornado of building I'll put new pics of current progress up tomorrow night. Ok here we go.

Actually I dont know if you have ever seen a vert in person stripped. They come with a massive amount of bracing and are basically seam welded from the factory. I think that the verts are very stiff from the factory. They are acutally built as coupes. Then braced inside then the roofs are cut off, all at the factory. We were told by Formula D we were only allowed to remove enough bracing to install our cage. Also the RX7 verts are built as verts from the factory. Thats why the FC verts only way a couple hundred lbs more, where as the 240 vert is substancially heavier then a coupe.

just food for thought
