No, FR is a bit more expensive. Sikky is cheaper but they use cheap shit. I bought my Sikky kit and the slip yoke was rusty on the outside and inside along with two of the AN fittings for the oil pan to the remote filter with "china" stamped on the side, whereas quality brand fittings have their logo/name stamped, aka FPS, XRP, Earls, etc. Also frustratingly, I lost my trans mount bracket in moving, I called them asking for a replacement and they couldn't find records of me buying it, so I fortunately got lucky with Hooker selling me a prototype bracket they made right after they finished making their kit for the swap. I will say, however, if you're gonna make any power, the Hooker headers are what you want as they all have 1 7/8" primaries vs. others 1 3/4" or smaller primaries. Sikky has a 1 7/8" option but that goes to a 3.5" collector and whothefuck wants to run a 3.5" exhaust or reduce it to a 3"? Doubly, Sikky's headers point 'inward' toward the trans some whereas Hooker's go straight back. It's just Hooker's kit kinda sucks IMO and places the engine higher (as high as Sikky's kit).

I wanted to revisit this. I actually visited Sikky as they built my new car and I didn't see ANYTHING chinese made. The whole shop is incredibly professional. My car has sikky everything so I'll post pictures of how the kit sits and how everything fits once I have it. They are shipping it to me but it's a long process.

Carbon Studios coming through with another unbelievable video wrapping up the 2014 season of Golden Gate Drift.

2014 is already shaping up HUGE for me. I'll have some really big news in the coming weeks.

For now this is how my car sits.

DJPimpFlex · 10-18-2013, 02:22 PM

It'll be a V8. That's about all I'm saying right now. It's in the works and it's going to happen very very quickly.

awesome. I'm guessing LS since it's cheaper and readily available with respect to most others. Though a Coyote would be real cool

Loving these videos. Looking forward to seeing what engine you go with. Would love to see an LS or VK go in this, but I'm sure whatever you have in store for it is going to be sick.

Reece · 10-22-2013, 08:55 PM

I'm usually not a fan of V8 swaps but I have a feeling this thing will be badass.. I'm excited to see it!

DJPimpFlex · 10-28-2013, 11:14 AM

So I guess the cat is out of the bag.....

2014 is shaping up nicely. Bought this sweet ride! LS3, 450 wheel hp. Everything is looking good. I'll be running this car for awhile now.

d-man478 · 10-28-2013, 11:24 AM

DAMN! You bought Rapper Dans ride! That thing is a beast! good luck in 2014!

For now I'm going to leave this car as is and see how he drove it. Once I decide what I like I'll basically make it drive as I like. The green car will just sit for awhile and I'll see what is next for it.

GSXRJJordan · 10-29-2013, 12:52 PM

Wow no shit, I was wondering what you were up to out there. Screamin' deal.
