Here we go - '98 swapped GC
Well here we go, after roughly 8 months of ups and downs (mostly downs : / ), my car is finally complete and running. I spent a couple months of basically nothing trying to figure out what the problem was, thinking that it was electrical, maybe something wrong with the harness or the ECU to find out that the timing was off and the heads were damage. Well now thats back together, and thanks to LIC motorsports, Greg Smith from i-club, various shops that gave me advice, and the help of guys from rs25 and i-club, this thing is running and its sweet. still a couple issues that need to be worked out, but for the most part, its there

i should probably get one pretty soon. they are hella expensive though, its a little rediculous
i actually have no idea how much it weighs, i think a stock gc is somewhere around 2800 if i'm not mistaken, so somewhere around there i guess

2720 Sedan. 2760 Coupe. +100lbs for Auto Transmission. You also need to factor in a few other things since you did a swap. Weight of all the extra parts, bigger tires, larger brakes, and yeah... I would say you'll be close to 2800-2850 lbs.

awesome! thanks man.
i still need to replace the ecu plugs/connectors. car doesnt run perfectly because the pins inside the connectors to the ecu were damaged and there is really no good way to fix them. Adam at LIC says he has a damaged harness somewhere that should have good plugs, hopefully i'll be able to pick it up pretty soon here, i really want my car running well.
it doesnt really pull really hard right now either because of this problem and i didn't want to push it in fear that something might happen. the car is going to sit for a bit until i can get those connectors replaced
