and the ETA of completion is....?
S10's.... they are the king of customization. one of the last vehicles to still have a true frame to build off of.
You seen my s10 LS1 project?
What are your power goals? This going to be all show?

colinmullis286 05-14-2009 12:26 PM

looking good

hatchkid91 05-14-2009 12:26 PM

looks sick man

thenephilm 05-14-2009 05:09 PM

its been an ongoing project for the past 3 years...It will have anywhere between 400-450 hp so it will be show and go :). I am hoping to have it out this year but we will see.

toyollAZ86 05-15-2009 10:43 AM

wouldnt it have been 100 times easier to just put some v8 in there.

or are you just going for something thats never been done.

thenephilm 05-15-2009 06:04 PM

i actually had a v8 in it originally...you just so many of them at shows that its almost annoying..so yeah, something different that will turn some heads..

crx1 05-19-2009 08:33 AM

looks good.

silvertc 05-19-2009 09:59 AM

those engine mount plate/backets look a little thin in the picture? how thick is that...

thenephilm 05-19-2009 11:23 AM

they are 1/4" I believe...3/16" at the smallest

Brokedick 05-19-2009 08:59 PM

looks good man. deff different.. Im a fellow 513 man also

cornfuzed 05-19-2009 10:48 PM

not to sound like an -------
but i don't like it
the body drop and rear frame section and the wheels
just seem to "gangsta"
to me
i like the sr20 idea
but i don't personally care for any car or truck that even has the word "show" used in it's discription
i honostly feel the "show" part of a car comes from the functionality and speed
if you make it to look "good?" then the function always sacrifices

but i'll give you props for having a project and sticking to it
don't get me wrong if i had the time and money i would do the same but maby a little different

thenephilm 05-19-2009 10:52 PM

wow i've never been referred to as gangsta lol..the white kid with the giant mohawk and beard lol but you wouldn't know that :)...i don't expect everyone to like it and thats cool with me...it's going to be fast but its not like I could take it to a track anyways...I just wanted a little bit of everything I suppose lol...it won't really be the best of anything but hopefully all together it will look good...and yeah, it will be for show as well because I've spent a crap ton of time in the details..

brianb 05-20-2009 12:25 AM

Looks good but why did you put the controls on the right side?

thenephilm 05-20-2009 06:39 AM

it was actually easier to make it RHD because of the turbo crap...I converted it to rack and pinion as well..

First of all, hiliarious.

Second of all, I didn't really take it as an insult, just a difference in opinion.

shoyass 05-25-2009 07:59 AM

It only has to make sense for you. Its all about what you like. I like it its different. The main thing is you built it. Not some sop that pulled your trousers down

4 link it!

cleve 08-05-2009 11:18 PM

awesome build keep us posted on everything!

cleve 08-05-2009 11:20 PM

why did you make the custom suspension in the rear rather then just 4-link it? i can see it being a chore keeping the power to the ground with that setup

offwhite 08-08-2009 03:21 AM

wow unreal fab work!
