wish I could take credit for the plate but I purchase both of mine from a member on clubprotege.com Hopefully it works out great but I am along way from the toyota box swap. Just gathering parts for now.

What Porsche stuff?
my 75 911 and 3 914's. These were my passions but I got a job on the wetter side of my state and needed to get something a little more practical. I chose mazda, A) because I had had a 91 egt in highschool and B) because they seem to share porsches(aircooled that is) philosophy of good handling and lightweight. I still have all these cars but I had to leave them with my parents for now. Im looking to buy a house in the next 6 months so hopefully I can have them all on the same property some time soon.

Hory shiet, you are reading my mind! I actually would like to do that pretty soon, but as stated previously, I need to get them over with me. Kits are becoming quiet cheap to do this, 1/4 turn fastners with full fiberglass fenders would be a fun build, light and cheap. Some day soon.

^ thanks, The escort has been the first car that I built start to finish. It was fun and a good learning experience but I am ready for some next level awd shiz and to get my porsche projects back under way! Still considering a miata for the wife if she'd give up her damn corolla.

Escort is gone, I was able to sell the shell
Pulled the motor first
I'll hopefully be dropping my b6t back into the gtx this week
That should free up some garage space
Here are some pics of the stash
Bpt setup out of the escort, will be going in the pro4wd temporarily
Gtr motor that will eventually end up in the pro4wd plus some other bits for it

There are some more goodies for the pro4wd coming, ill post pictures later
I'm just going to dump the rest of the pictures I took and field questions
Numbers wise, I a planning to max out the vj23 on the gtr block, supposedly it's a 350-ish who capable set-up, we will see. The other Bp I am building is getting all my forged pieces plus a bp4w head, may switch to a vvt, Holset hx-35 and custom intake and exhaust manifolds. I want to max it out as well and get something like 450 awhp in the gtx. Wish me luck!
