Whatsausername? Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nice pick mate, Looks exactly like mine before I started...So are you planning on doing some panel and paint resto or just work where the sun don't shine?. What running gear do you plan on using? (ie. Gearbox, Crossmember, Diff)? And good luck trying to get all of that rust, I myself just cut the whole back end out haha Come up a treat if I don't say so myself. haha :) So what's the purpose of your build, Drift, Time attack or circuit?

Yea doing a resto, need to find a donor car for some pieces to weld in or find at wreckers. I'm using a s14 tight as box (what my s13 was running). As for crossmember using the ke one, cut of the mounts and weld the sr mounts on. Diff will be from the jdm ae86 disc to disc. Yours has come up good :-) What motor, box and diff you running? Aiming at doing time attacks and circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsausername? Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice nice, If done right your can be used as a daily or well on the roads anyway haha...Only problem with the Silvia gearbox is that they sit a LOT further back than the original 4K box, You will defiantly need to do some fabricating, But that's piss easy anyway :cool: Here is a link to my build, Work on it has been a little slow the last few weeks due to me trying to sort out finances for a new Volkswagen Amarok My Build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigke70 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Would want to drive it around on the roads haha :-) Yea shouldn't be all that hard getting the Silvia gearbox in, should work it out. You reminded me to strengthen up the struts in your build, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsausername? Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yea you shouldn't have a problem getting it in, Just it will be sitting a lot further back than normal due to the lenght of a silvia compared to a rolla haha And Yea I done a wee bit more welding on my strut towers, Spot welds wouldn't do shit so...

Whatsausername? Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Time is a virtue, If you do the dirty work now then you won't have to do it later on down the track, I now know for a fact that my strut towers aren't ever going to move or warp.
