You need a personalized plate for that car. KLZEstiva, or something.

[mikeycar500]

[Damkid]

I managed to get a few mins today after work and before it got dark to swap the front bumper out tonight for an un-modified, freshly painted (spray bombs) black stock bumper, i still have the rear to do but its getting dark so that'll be another day

[MONSOON]

lol!

[Damkid]

I went to school with two of the mechanics so they already knew about my car, although a funny story is on my way home I stopped for gas and when I fired it up the guy at the pump behind me said "those things aren't supposed to sound like that" :evil4:

yesterday i just got an alignment done on it so now i'll be able to get a better feel for it :lol:

I wonder what the alignment shop thought about the engine size... lol

[Damkid]

I've only put roughly 200kms on the swap so far so i haven't really "pushed" the car too much yet to see how the handling is now etc.

At first the steering felt very weird but i knew the alignment was out quite a bit so yesterday i just got an alignment done on it so now i'll be able to get a better feel for it :lol:

This is saying ITB to me the V6 would sound very good. No turbo, you have lots of power. If you want more, 100hp nitrous shot would solve that for a lot cheaper than a turbo and room is a big concern with that v6(piping, manifolds, turbo's etc). Good job on the swap have you tried braking hard to see how it handles weight transfer? My will get a bit loose in the rear under hard breaking, but I have 12 inch rotor's in the front.

^^Thanks and if you want post the link to my build over on probe talk go for it :lol:

[SimonTuffGuy]

Wow..... The guys over on ProbeTalk has tried talking me into a KLZE swap forever.

This is nuts. Sign me up for one?

[Damkid]

^^Yes but if my passport doesn't get to me in time i can't cross the border, thats the problem, i've had to hold off til last minute to apply for it since the money was needed for other priorities, so if my passports are in on time, i will be there, most likely in my festiva

Chris, you can drive your Aspire to OSX, can't you?
