Now here is where the fun begins... Wiring. It took me 3 day (2 hours daily). I had all the schematics and some internet reference regarding EG33 engine wiring swaps.
 Pulling out all the tape was tedious!!!  What was removed!  After excess wire was removed.   |

I'm going to fit the fuel tank tomorrow and do some tunning on the shift cables.
BTW the exhaust is from the original SVX and just for testing purposes.... Some picks of the fuel tank:     |

So I had a great deal for a complete drive train of a WRX 2006 and went for it.
Sold all the parts,but the tranny (of course), and started swap from the 901 to the limited WRX tranny. Here is my thread regarding the AWD to FWD conversion. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=298248&hl= |

Looks like I'm having problems with global limit space and cannot post more pictures... So this is what I done to the car:
1)WRX 2006 limited edition tranny swap. 2) Used the WRX master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch conversion. 3) Setup my shift linkage. Have to do a little modification to the MR2 shifter since the gear selector was an inch short. 4) And went for a test drive. https://youtu.be/Redejr5qza8 That all happens between June 2016 and 1st of 2017 (working on some weekends) Now will be putting Loctite on all the nuts, exhaust, get new front tires, aligment, paint.... and run the hell out of it!!!!

Some short videos.
First time driving with my wife, but she didn’t let me squeeze 3rd gear!!! driving.gif https://youtu.be/NsUQ_aMiV_A 1st and 2nd then 4th cruising, She still scared... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) https://youtu.be/cAiKbMAzVi0 I'm still working on the body, some tweaks, need to add an after market temp sensor and gauge, since I don't trust the one I have now. Still need some alignment. But it's running and shifting gooooood!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Pic of a month ago:  Body work:  |

Your lower spring perches are on upside down...
That said, I love the build! I'm using the EG33 also but in a different configuration and I'm nowhere near your stage of the build but I'm trudging along. Looking really good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Thanks Frank I did drive the car with the 901, It run good but didn't like the shifting. In very little time I sold the adapter and bought a 2006 WRX tranny, made the cable shifter and it is a complete different animal...... I'm still using the stock outer CV joints and would need to upgrade soon.... I have 11 rear rims with 285 tires... and if I drop the hammer, even rolling, this thing goes sideways...and I know I will brake them soon.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Installed new Temp Sensor and Gauge. Didn't trust the old one. Bought Fahrenheit and send me Celsius (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .
Anyway the car never went over 82 C, that is about 180 F.    |

Today I finally decide to work on my hood. The idea was to split in half the vent from the radiator to the hood. Why I needed to do that? Cause if I fix it to the hood it won’t open due to interference of a reinforce tube (pipe). Anyway this is what I end with. Still need to bondo it to make it look better. But is functional for now.
Did I mention I hate to work with fiberglass!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)            |

you really don't need a fan much over 25 mile an hour....your installation will actually block flow thru at higher speeds...might be good enough for your street driving though ...

I like it! BUT you need a leading edge on the front of your hood exhaust to promote the venturi effect and get that airflow over the hood to suck air out of the radiator. Doesnt take much. Some kind of lip probaby an inch high would do wonders.
