Not a honda but oh well im bored so i'll post it here.

OK heres my little project, When i first went into i thought it would be pretty easy. In my head it sounded like it would be easy.. Dizzy kinda sparked it off and i went ahead and checked a local junkyard. They had a wrecked 2001 TTQ so i bought the whole rear suspension with the haldex axles etc.. Then i started re-searching and it seemed like is was going to be much harder lol :banghead:

Heres the TT stuff i bought, it has less then 30k on it.




So then i started drilling out all the spot welds that where holding the floor board. Man was it a pain in the butt, I say it took me a good 10 hours and prob 15 hours to remove all the stuff i didn't need.. Heres the pics to that



With everything removed like
-gas tank
-whole rear beam
-disconnect the brake lines and e-brake cables and put them under the car


drilled out and removed the rear seat bracket


inside pic


started with the wheel well floor


wheel well removed, man was it a pain. The corner piece was the worst i almost gave up a few times lol


rear seat floor removed, It was a pain too lol


over view of it, ignore the foam. I used the foam a while ago to make it quiter in the cabin :sly:



side rails removed. I wish i had a lift, now my back hurts soo bad



Still got to remove the wheel well's cause it will be easier if i use the R32 ones


Another pic of the side rail, where they were.....


Some more pics of some new pieces for the swap. Thanks to orangea2vr6 he drove from Maryland to drop off the R32 backhalf and gas tank thanks man


still got to drill and cut a little to get it all ready


R32 thank


a little update, got the R32 floor pan all ready just need to stand the places im going to weld and it will be ready to go in... Hopefully tomorrow i will try to get it in :eek:






how much crap had to be removed. Man I bet my nieghbors hate me.

took about 15 hours to do that, i thought it would be easier but nope it was a pain, im just happy im done with all the hard work


a tiny update lol... Should be in today.. It sucks trying to do it alone. Im only 160 lbs lol... wife is at work but she still wouldn't help me. :laugh:




another update, its basically in, need to move it 1/4" and it should be perfect... Man im tired... So if you do this have at least 1 more friend to help lol.




sexy huh?

I can't really believe im this far lol.

a small update, install the whole rear of the TT tonight just to double check everything fit and make sure the wheels are straight.. So far everything fits great im surprised lol... So tomorrow im going to be doing lots of cleaning and welding


need to change the brakes after i finish everything

no one really know, but i can make it either FWD, 50/50 or whatever % i want with the controller... So i can dyno in either AWD or FWD then in freeway runs with people i can do FWD only and from the start do AWD launch's should be fun

KYLE.

wow, very impressed

Thats pretty dope man.

The reason I asked is because from looking at your times in your sig I take it you are making some pretty decent power.
