Well spent the first day on my new project, a productive one if may say. I need to cut a coil or two off the rear, I used the KYB AGX's and Eibach's out of my Talon and the Mirage is too light to compress them at all lol. I think also before it sees the road I will weld in a little more bracing where the front of the subframe is attached.

Yeah, I want it a little high in the back so it will launch straight but this is too much, needs to lose like 2 inches or so.

Thats what I was thinking. Figure out the recommended spring rate and get some that match that before cutting up springs.

Well so far here is what I have and what the plan is, I have an auto awd trans that's going in it with the translab shift kit and a welded center diff, 93 7 bolt motor with EVO 9 rods and pistons, stock cams for now till I can afford better ones with EVO 9 springs and retainers in a MAP stage 3 ported head with a "Rev 2.5" ported 2g intake with a 95 Sonata valve cover, twice as heavy as a DSM valve cover and probably twice as strong and I call the intake a rev 2.5 because it's a rev 2 map port job plus most of the reshaping of the rev 3 without actually cutting it open, I have a big H1C with a BEP bolton housing and I also have a billet HX40 Pro wheel I might fit in it, ECMLink V3 with a 4 bar GM style MAP sensor getting tuned on speed density of course, 1000cc FIC injectors with a modded walbro 255, JM Fab cop plate with 300m coils, full ARP hardware in everything, plus a few other goodies, should be a decent little setup for now lol.

So did you do the rear end swap? Did you use a 1G Dsm rear end? Define rely not your everyday project that's for sure.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say that'll be one bad ass setup.

Yeah me and my friend did it, took 10 hours, after doing it once now I could probably do it in 5-6, and yes it is a 91 TSi subframe
