Thread: SHOGUN SENTRA QG18DE-T (Slowly But Surely)

Update:

Picked up Transmission today (2005 Manual Tranny w/ 35,000 Miles)







Basically done with all the big parts. Now just gotta make sure I got all the lil stuff like bolts.

PPl requested more pics of the lip so here they are. Gonna be painting bumper and lip black soon:

So this is a 5-speed swap? I'm guessing that the QG18 doesn't bolt up to the 6-speed right? Looking good.

Yep this is for 5 spd swap.

Loving the stock bumper, its a way cleaner look than a kit...
Good luck on the 5 speed swap.

nice project something different good luck.

Front bumper all done being painted. Picking up 2moro at 10Am. Cant wait to see how it looks!

Got some sneek peeks of the new bumper. Still need to put yellow fogs and new white rims on and line up front mount intercooler. I just put it on for a lil while then took it back off till I have EVERYTHING ready.





After I took it off to install fogs:

New Pics:

Car looks really good man. Did you fix your intercooler, so its more straight/centered? Can't really tell with those pictures.
Too bad you got rid of the stock wheels; I thought they looked really good. I bet the car feels alot better now that those lead weight, stock rims are off. What do the new rims weight in as?(they're 17" rims?)

Oh yes! Deff the ride is different. I think the ones I have on now are about 15lbs each. Not really sure.

The car look 10xs better now loose the back bumper and ull be perfect but nice non the less

No way, back bumper looks good. If anything, maybe, lose the rear tail lights.

Looks really good. Is it still an auto, or did you swap the 5 speed in?
