Hey bud

found an old engine bay pic

got around to flaring my front guards today, it was sooooooo easy seriously way easier than i thought it would be and it turned out 1000% better than i thought it would! also finally got my handbrake working, thanks to those who helped me in my post.... still to go is rest of bodywork and paint, custom exhaust engine management, cage, bucket seat and a couple oil leaks, then off to the track whichever one it may be!

 

what did you use for the gearbox crossmember? and when u say an rb20 gearbox, do you need a different bellhousing and clutch and shiz? please explain some more as i am doin the ca conversion very soon..

not sure on that one mate, maybe ask some of the other guys whov done the conversion, one of them must have done it that way

ah well it will be a lot of trial and error for me.. luckily got a gantry and a shed to use.. got a complete engine and box package cheap so will be into this like mustard haha, i will be doin pics and such for the people who want to know how to do the fun stuff...

ok its been a while since ive updated this, still havent done much due to xmas etc but i will be getting stuck into it first thing in the new year, in this order,

1. tailshaft

2. rust

3. seat

4. ecu

5. cage

6. exhaust (thinkin side pipes i dunno what do you think?)

7. engine oil leak (front crank seal and turbo oil drain)

 

finally i will take it down to my work and do the wheel alignment and give it a test run before the track, run it to ensure no leaks etc and take it for a run on the street to make sure it drives straight and no odd noises etc, then re tighten every bolt i can see and then its track time.

 

at least i hope it goes that easy :y: anyone who can help with any of these things in my list in anyway, plz do so :P namely cage and rust:)

hey dude love the project, just a quick question about your engine mounts. did you fit engine in then weld mounts in the desired location to keep mounts solid in one position? also.... do you know how tall the mounts are? 35,40,55mm

 

cheers
