Another SHOGUN in the werks

[tderonne]

I want to see somebody build a SHOgun and just leave the wheels sticking out wide. I think it would look better, actually (and save weight...)

Slightly off topic...

Aspire with an Escort GT suspension and trans with a KLZE swap in back wouldn't require wider fenders.

(But a stock bodied Aspire doesn't make the statement a widebody Festiva does now does it?)

an EGT trans also doesnt bolt to a KLZE.

wow, amazing build!!!

Ok V6 bell half on G series trans, or V6 trans. Same idea. It'd all fit.

Absolutely pointless, they are identical internals except different spline counts on the diff

Plus why put it in the back? I fit one in the FRONT of my festiva

Im still working 15-20 hours a week on this , even though my web updates are rare.

255 walbro , fuelab filter , lowered the tank even more. Wilwood Brake valve.



Polished intake ,fuel line , and covers (all hand done by me) , Powdercoated tranny , installed Quaife , The subframe is on automotive epoxy primer. Re-Loomed and stripped the harness to bare minimum. I also wired the A/C blower/heater unit (Vintage air unit). Turbo is also polished (not shown). Catch can bolted to trans. Home made serpentine system (all 3.2 , on mtx subframe , modified front support , rear bracket from mtx but welded a 3.2 tensioner on it.)









Powdercoated spindles (will carry the 11.5" rotors) and this will be the rear. The front festiva has the Rio upgrade (2002+ rio) which you can get the brake upgrade (from unvented 8.5" to 10.5 vented) .



Dirty gauges , leds installed for various warnings.





Made myself a control panel for my vintage air A/C heater system. Plus installed switches for fans and fogs.



Audi cable shifter , its short throw , its even quicker and crisper then my rod shifter in my 2002.



Made a cage for the driver/pass , more safety , imagine getting side swipped by a f150. Yeah I thought so too.



Part of my exhaust , its ceramic painted and cooked (VHT stuff).



Belt system



Turbo and cooling plumbing



STI ebay intercooler with the exit or entry tube

[Prafeston]

Wow! This thing is going to be ridiculous!

[neanderpaul]

Wow man! Thanks for the update! Keep at it!

[Aaronbrook37]

Dang. Looks great, my friend. Love the updates!

[rmoltis]

This is crazy can't wait to see the results. I like the rear disc brakes you have there.

[88FestivaLX]

Holy balls! I want one!

Good top see that you're alive. And that 'backyard' SHO power (in a Festy) is still in the cards. This is going to be a pretty rag-tag bunch of Canadians if/when Festy International comes to town. I'll have to 'hang around back' because all I have to show is an Aspire-swapped one. Weather and road salt does wonders up here.
By the way, your write-up on newer Rio front brakes was great.
