Nice to see you finally got a log up, now all you need is the pics so everyone can see the work you've put in. (Ive made a few trips to his house to swap parts ) Not to mention that engine definatly makes me a lil' jealous sitting all pretty in there!

Finally some pics.

That is my buddy Mike working his magic on the new KL.

Also, you can see the new manual rack

Lookin good! I like the valvecover. KLG4 IM?

[AaronTietje]

Sure is. It is the first G4 that I have had, so I don't have an official opinion of it other than it looks good.

[AaronTietje]

If you look close you can see that I got around the "lip problem" on the G4 intake with a spacer. I then used
a Mx3 TB.

[AaronTietje]

Finely got myself a set of mint fronts.

I got in contact with a guy on CL about a parts car......long story short he gave me the leather portions I needed to make mine perfect.

[AaronTietje]

I did some cleaning in the garage today and made it easy to work on the MX3.
My dash will not have any of the vents left when I am done. I am also putting in a push start in the 94 flasher position and have mounted in the old style flasher so that I still have one.

Hmmm...no A/C and leather seats? You're about to lose some weight...

Anyway, looking good so far. Love the valve covers. Are you gonna paint the letters?

Yah, its going to be hot.... lol...... The lettering will be polished when I finally get a chance. The body of the car will also be a burnt orange that matches the VC's.

I just got a package from Japan Post

Pics up soon.

[solo_ryder]

Pics NAO!

Also, 94 dash in a 93 SE ftw. I like what you did with the start button there and using the 93 hazard switch, good idea for sure

[AaronTietje]

HERES THE PICS

I do have the complete set including the fender caps.

Holy crap!!!! I could not believe how little these things way. I had a euro mini in one hand and my JDM skirt in the other and it was almost identical in weight.

sorry about the poor pics. I will bet better ones once the car is mobile.

I used my 93 dash harness so the 94 hazard was of no use to me unless I rewired. I don't think I will ever attempt another one of these dash swaps. It was a huge pain and just not fun.........but im glad I have it now lol.
