My car is special to me, after the big accident in my wagon i bought the coupe to basically get me used to driving again coz i was scared to hop in a car

The plans were to use the wagon 93t turbo on the coupe, but things changed and i bought an evo2 front cut, and was just gonna leave it FWD and give it a nice show look

Until i spun my big end bearing and had to rebuild the engine... so after spending around 20k in total on it, i knew even if i was gonna sell it i wont get the $$ back, so i pulled my finger out and decided to AWD it


If i knew this is what i was gonna do back in 2005 after the acco, i would have just bought a GSR or something

My suggestion is if the car is standard at the moment and it hasn't got any sentimental value, sell it and buy something like a GSR, or save up and buy the car you want, there's no point modifying the car if your gonna sell it in the end

I'll be keeping my car for a long time, well my son has already claimed it as his own lol, i'm actually looking for a EVO7 GTA for the MRS

seems like u've been through a lot... but u do have a nice car now and i do admire it and can see how much time and effort u've spent into doing it...
the car is standard ryt apart from a nice sound system... (who doesnt want a nice sound system??)... and seeing as wat i've said b4 about the work my dad put into it... id like to keep it...
also, good luck with letting go ur car to ur son... hahaha... along with the EVO VII GTA for the Mrs... =]

im starting myself on a 93t swap so if you like i'll give you a step by step and exact pricelist if you want

so far engine $150
gaskets $336
rings $130
main bearings $94
rod bearings $63

Oh that'd be nice... i'd just like to no how much it all cost ya if thats ok...
pm me ur progress and costs if thats possible...
its already up to $800 odd but we'll see the final pricing first before i go ahead and try anythn...
best of luck with the swap mate... =]

^ this.

either:

a) put on a evo3 style kit and keep it as a daily. or

b ) sell it and buy a GSR/evo.

You will not be able to effectively and competently convert the GL to '63t awd for under $10,000.

This is not advice. This is how it is.

i understand wat ur talkin bout here... like i've said a plenty of times... it has personal value to me so i dont wanna sell it...
right now im in the option A category...

I've got an aftermarket rear tail lights in black
I've got myself an Evo III Rear Spoiler courtesy of GSR93
Getting myself a front bar from www.modyourcar.com.au

And i am thinking of getting a pair of black projector headlights with CCFL Rings
Also thinkin bout getting an adaptor for my carby to put on a Pod Filter...

I've REALLY appreciated this site and am very glad i've found it... The parts are easy to get, and cheaper.
I've also really loved the community of people here... they've been really helpful in helping with the decisions of my car... i thank you all... =]

Thanks guys. appreciate the offers but i dont think i'll be selling my car, nor buying a gsr/evo III...
I''ll just save the cash to get my FD3S... =]

i'll keep the price list and step by step up to date in my build thread will prolly be easier.

remeber im doing a complete engine rebuild before i drop it in also mainly because i didn't have a clue on the engine condition.

The brutal truth? to convert a GL sedan to 4G63T and AWD is totally not worth it and a total waste of time and $$ nowadays IMO because GSR's can be bought for as little as $4500+
Its much cheaper, less hassle mechanically and legal wise to buy a cheap GSR and go from there. There's no reason to pay big $$ to re-invent the wheel when at the end of the day its going to cost you triple doing it the long and hard way.
If converting a coupe or something different like a Satria etc to AWD and 4G63T... different story... as you cant just go out and buy one already done like that.

nah thats not true alex, before i put the evo in the jumbuck when i was doing up my coupe.. i had everything i needed for 8k.. maybe i was lucky but it can be done

but mate if you need to see how things work when coverting etc, there are a few boys here in WA that have done or are doing the 93T and 63T conversions AWD and FWD.. ive got a couple in my shed.. i can show ya when you look at the seats
