I decided to consolidate my other thread into an actual build thread. I will be home in less than two weeks, and although it's a bitter sweet homecoming, I can't @!#$ wait to work on the J.

Initial plans are to start stripping it down as soon as I get it out of storage. The 95-05 Sunfire front AND the LN2 engine will be gone.... My current front end is going to another Jbo member Blackpheonix. I am moving on to my third, and last, J front end swap. lol. The pictures will give all the details and start to paint the picture.

Eibach front/rear sway bars


New Sunfire front end

GM Cyber Gray


What you've seen it on

RK lower dogbone

17" Focal F05s wrappted in Kumho Ecstas

STD R5s

Eco AEM Intake


Purchased, but not yet pictured:
Aluminum A Arms w/ prothane bushings
TTR Upper engine mount
TTR Trans mounts

Last but not least,
Full Eco swap

Think that's about it. Will add pictures as I get them. Eco will remain relatively stock for the time being. Eventually plan to S/C it, with a light build, but for now I just want to get the swap completed, and get the car running.

How it sits now: Motegi wheels have the snow tires mounted, and will be used for any winter driving. Sides & rear will remain the same.



Lil photoshop of the end result (plan to retrofit the headlights (blacked out) and eventually do some kind of front lip)


Also, a special thanks to ALL the Jbo member's that have helped me by sending me various parts. I owe a lot to all of you. Especially Matt for all the hard work he is putting into the body work and PJ for coming to Eco swap with me.

You will need a winter beater. Wish I was closer so I could offer morale support

Lovin the plans, Matt and PJ are definitely the guys to have on your team for this! Good Luck
