i got this shell a few months back and everyone is telling me that its impossible and i should get an 06/07 if i want those features. i got a motor and started to do some work on the conversion. after i looked at it, i realized that EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT!!! even the sub frame and the chassis is different! after a few months of hard work, i am proud to say that I DID IT! This is probably the first and only 04 S2K with TCS, DBW, and a Stroker kit.

here are some pics of the process...

stripped down chassis






06/07 cluster conversion


converted abs pump and DBW unit


relocated fuse box, epsu, and battery


Custom suede center console & e-brake


Custom JPM blue stitching steering wheel


motor installed


front view...


rear view...



the rest of the interior is still being made by JPM.
- seats and door panels will match the center console
- dvd-navigation in dash
- entire JL sound system


i will update pictures as the build progress...

 

Damn man...I give you definite props for bringing life back to that car. Looks like a theft recovery, no?

The only things I don't like are the center console cover and the fuse box placement...but otherwise it looks like it's really coming together.

 

shoulda just built it to track specs....

engine, tranny, dash, no need for carpet

nice build btw

 

thanks, the car used to belong to C4SxM5. i purchased it as a shell

 

i plan to track and drive it daily for about 6 months so i need carpet for now

 

either way....still a very nice build and time you put into tho

 

What stroker kit are you running? Displacement, bore/stroke dimensions?

Excellent buildup btw. Not really a fan of the baby blue interior but it doesn't look too bad.

 

You must have some Mad Skills to even attemp this! Nice work and look forward to seeing future pictures

 

Wow.. for all ur hard work..

is it an 06 motor or a previous years motor u modified with dbw and everything?

 

IIRC, Hoa wrecked his laguna blue '06.
