#6909278 Wow!! :shock: First time logging in a bit and I came across the most impressive swap I've ever seen on the form! First, what gave you the idea to attempt this? Are you a machinist/fabricator? Looking through your photos, I'd guess you've built some amazing stuff before. I get a lot of info from just the photos, but would love more info/specs on the build. Are you on youtube or IG? Some commentary would be awesome. Also props to another Ohioan and bonus props for doing this build in an Ohio driveway :woot:

#6909281 Thank you I appreciate your response I went to school for machining and about 3 years ago I got a welding job. And I gradually started to get some metal working machines so I can do machining in my garage. I've always liked making things. As for my car project I have always wanted to make it mid engine AWD. I have had several engine swaps I had a b16, b18, b20vtec and a j32. I started researching all the parts and things that I would have to make right before covid shutdown. I used a Audi ABZ 4.2 from an Audi A8 and an 01e transmission and differential from an Audi A4 the rear subframe is from a Porsche 997. The coilovers are fortune auto 500 series. I plan on adding my Borg Warner s360 turbo and I'm going use turbo smart wastegates and bov. For the ECU I planning on using Link and an aim power management unit and digital dash.
