The title says it all.
Fcuk ya!
Why? Because I like to try new things, but moreover, I got both cars for 3600. The Tsi has only 82,000 miles on it, but regrettably is rusted bad enough to fail an inspection. The ESi has a near perfect frame but has a 420a and FWD so 2 will now become 1.
I initially did this swap out of pure necessity.
When life gives you lemons, you alter their DNA and make super lemons! Next time life wont fcuk with you cause you have super lemons and super lemons are bad ass scary little mother fcukers.
: )
Now before the negativity and pessimism sets in I will give a little background. I am a welder by trade (5 Years) and now a mechanical engineer by education. I have been building cars for 10 years now so I have a reasonable amount of experience. My accomplishments are as follows but not limited too:
3 total engine rebuilds
6 engine swaps (record was 5 hours from jacked up to start up)
9 transmission swaps
7M Supra converted to a 1JZGTE including a FULL rewire finished in 5 days
2 Honda Frankenstein motors
Converted a carbed motor to Fuel Injected
Turbocharged a 500cc Kawi motor
More body work than I care to admit to
And a member of my unis FSAE team for 4 years. Woot! Woot!
Here we fcuking go .
Phase 1:
The Esi to TSi to AWD swap. This went very smoothly with no issues at all .well there was one small issue but see if you can find it! : )
Some initial pics of both cars . OOOOOHHHHH ..AAAAAAAAHHHHH.
First up, the one armed gutless little green machine!!!
Why hello there Mr. 420a . what the fcuk are you doing in there? You have been asked to leave this party. Please vacate the premise at your earliest convenience ..or right now would actually be better.
Hello there Mr. 4G63 your table is almost ready, we are just waiting on some gutless mother fcuker to leave. Your stay will be taken care of as well as a Holset HE351VE is being compd for your troubles.
Fcuk ya!
