Would be an interesting project. I can get my hands on enough fiberglass for cheap to possible take a stab at it, just need a dash, create a mold, figure out how to save weight by properly placing supports and the like...maybe slant the center portion towards the driver like a Supra for more gauge space, turn the passenger portion into something useful too... Of course, I would only be doing this until my car is "complete". After this winter, I should just have the paint and body to finish up (which will be going to a professional shop), with a mild turbo upgrade the following winter. Other than that, we can talk in a year...if you can wait that long

What are you doing for rear suspension? Ladder bars? 4-link? Hell no! As far as I'm concerned your not a true DSM once you go straight axle or no IRS Stock rear suspension but I'm going to make my own lower arms etc. Good, good. That's what I like to hear. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary with the lower arms, or just the 'standard' custom ones that I've seen here and there on Tuners/Link Forums/etc.? Btw, when you say 'stock' rear suspension, I assume you mean stock style and that you'll be running some sort of aftermarket spring/coilover? Or, are you actually running stock springs and shocks?

Yeah when I'm done you could bolt either the stock arms or my arms up and I'll be running the same JIC coil overs that have been on the car! My subframe will be alot stiffer and also hold the larger and unforunately heavier GT diff. But still keeping it all mitsu baby!

I agree with Johnny, that thing is beautiful. Especially because I have never seen a brand new turbo in person.
