Is this still available? I'd like to see if we can work something out

 

edit: seeing now that it's sold. Literally just joined this forum to buy this car :facepalm:

 

well, if the new owner wants to sell or decides to part out, I'll take it!

In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :

Well, it's an 03, has some suspension work (double adjustable coilovers, poly bushings everywhere, wagon rear sway bar), rear disk brake swap, manual converted steering, stripped interior and more weight reduction, TWM short throw with brass bushings, iceman intake, gude long tube header, Trubendz stainless steel exhaust with magnaflow muffler and resonator, dyno tuned (made about 145whp), and I'm sure there's some more stuff I'm forgetting. But it's currently being torn down for a custom RWD conversion, and once I get that done, I'll start working on what I have planned for the engine (N/A build, ITBs, 8k+ redline). That whole project is kind of on hold right now though, as the RB in my 240 just popped a head gasket, so rebuilding that is taking priority

Some cool builds.  What's the rear end setup like on the RWD conversion, what diff and how is the rear suspension set up?

In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :

I hope you don't mind, but I don't want to divulge TOO much information right now. I know it's going to be a bit until I finish it considering my other projects, and I'd hate for someone to beat me to the chase

 

what I will say is that there's another OEM car with a rear subframe and suspension design that's close enough to the BG chassis that some relatively minor modification makes it swap on fairly easily, and that's what I'm using for the rear end setup. My biggest hurdle right now is figuring out what to do with the gas tank for the driveshaft to be able to pass through, because I don't want to go with an aftermarket fuel cell. I'm trying to build this car as OEM-style as possible to kind of make an "if Ford made an RS2000 escort in 2003" type of build

That's awesome.  Maybe someday do a build thread to show it all off.  It sounds pretty cool.

Seeing this pop up again I was hoping it was still available. Rare beast. Hoping it stays a 323gtx
