Modified the saturn frame and the maxima subframe and made custom suspension from a mk3 vw golf.

You are one talented man. I have a spare DEK motor myself,wonder what i could put it in?

Did you get the car started?

That car should be very fast,at least in the 13's stock.How much does that car weigh. And what tranny are you using?

Thank you very much. The car does run and drive but having issues with the transmission shifting very early which I addressed in another posting waiting for input.

It's the factory maxima 4 speed auto. It is not very fast atm due to the trans issue and partly to the fact that 97 ecm doesnt have vias control

as long as you can fabricate and are driven you can put it in whatever you wish lol
