Nice looking build, although as you said some of the pictures aren't working. How much was that transmission new? I'm afraid to look it up haha

Danstachet · 10-05-2015, 12:32 PM

The transmission new was about 1900 shipped. Not too bad considering what used RB25 trans go for.

Sforteen · 10-07-2015, 04:37 PM

Is that just a straight RB clutch or is it a special unit for the conversion?

tricky_ab · 10-07-2015, 09:15 PM

I love me some RB swaps! Keep up the great work OP!

Thats a RB clutch. Kevin lawrence is running that clutch with his cd001 attached to his RB25 on his pro2 car, so that's what he told me to order.

Thanks Tricky! It was nice meeting you at Final Bout II. Hope to see you next year with this car running.

Nice build man. Should be killer. I also have a 26 coupe.

drewr4411 · 10-16-2015, 10:40 AM

Is there anyway you can try and fix your photos on the first page?

I want to be able to get the full feel of the thread. Thanks!

Malik · 10-18-2015, 03:38 PM

yes please, fix pics

Danstachet · 10-19-2015, 09:24 AM

Pictures are fixed. That was more of a PITA than i thought it was going to be. I should have a small update coming soon! Started my harness and got some exhaust bits ceramic coated. Pics within the week!

My man, that would be awesome! I'll be watching your build for sure... And let me know if you have an Instagram account!

Danstachet · 11-03-2015, 05:56 AM

Been working on the wiring a little here and there. I've been pretty busy with school and work but work is slowing down for the winter so i should have some more time. I've also been spending a good portion of my free time house hunting, but i've got the majority of the major spending for the car done with so having a house payment shouldnt slow me down too bad.

Anyway on to the pics!

It's far from perfect, but I am EXTREMELY satisfied with how it turned out for my first attempt. Not as difficult as it looks but very very very time consuming.

hasemi · 11-09-2015, 05:15 PM

Looking solid. My next step is learning how to weld and wiring. Any advice for where to start learning about wiring on the web?

Speedhunters had a wiring specialist write a couple of articles not long ago. I can't remember his company name but if you do a search I'm sure you'll find it all. He has an email sign up lesson thing if I remember right.

Incredible build also, can't wait to see what you do next.

turboshoebox · 11-09-2015, 09:28 PM

Nice attention to detail but I would of used the same money to move out of iowa

OBEEWON · 11-10-2015, 06:15 AM

But Iowa is home to the National Hobo convention, it celebrates the traveling man every year.
