4080's STI to GC Swap
Well here is my official thread on my swap. I will post pics here, enjoy!
Day 1
Pulled the motor and tranny out. Unfortunately to my surprise I found some serious rust build up under the battery tray.
Day 2
-Installed 245/40/17's on my JDM/EDM Enkei's
-Sanded down the rust and treated with POR 15.
-Removed rear subframe from GC.
..........reserve for finish product of rust repair.......
Day 3
-Pulled the gas tank out of the GC.
-Pulled the rear subframe and gas tank from the STI.
-Installed STI gas tank into GC
-Installed STI rear subframe into GC along with BC coilovers and rims.
Is that a BREMBO peeking behind the rim? It sure as hell is!
The next two pics are dedicated to Bran808. Hella Flush and then some!

Special thanks to my Latin Swappers Shaggy and Dave!
