and to explain, thats the ole engine coming out and out, the one with in posts above with carbs, is the new one.

and white furry roof :

Awesome.. Just i want some banded steelies, and the only 1s i can find are 14's .. and g60's are far to much.

aye they are 15's the only way i could get them over them breaks.
Ermm they came off a show-room astra, the person wanted alloys, and i asked for them..got um free :D

Silly question, are those steelies 15 inch? and what did they come off?

so for basically a year i've done nothing sadly..but the last week i did this :


quaife diff fitted yo



r1 carbs fitted :)



i have absolutly no mechanic skills at all, so been a good learning curve.

i got this engine cheap, so i took out my broken one, and fitted this one temp, imma run it till it blows basically, then i'll have a pop at building up a forged blocked.
i'll need to get in touch with Philip2 for solid advice, get him to port n polish me a head, and lightened/balance me a bottom end.

i'll get a vid up as soon as this is all running and pics of end results, see you all at crail and knockhill :thumbs:

forged pistons yo! :)

I got some pictures from Philip2 on xmas,

I've picked up Forged pistons, we're boring the block the out, new rings of course :P, steel rods, std crank, ARP bolts :)

head to be built

I'm currectly moving house, so not getting on very much, but philip2 if you see this, post up some pictures please !:)

over and out...

i u2ud you mate, but no reply, really interested

Buying that shell was a waist off time and money then :lol:


Plans sound good :cool:

Need another coat, and laquer, but heres the idea, front wheels :

*i cared about covering the tyre at first, then gave up, quick wire brush ;)*




and the rear will be like this

pics/condition/price/spec of shell


u2u me ;)

:(

Not to worry, just a shame after travelling all the way up for it but if its easier to just use your current shell then no point messing about :thumbs:

my old driveshafts :D, will be keeping an eye out for this project

I was gonna re-shell the car, now i've decided not too, i have a rolling shell if anyone wants it, but i will prob just scrap it, sorry Lloyd :(!

regardless, i'm sitting on axle stands while, i get my big block hubs pressed, new wishbones, ball joints, fit new fuel tank, with new fuel pump.
I'm gonna brave it and get rid of the front ARB, but i will get a RARB :).

i have tons to do, and i've forgot tons, i'll get more and better pics, and i'll start showing some work, gonna underseal it this week me thinks when fitting new fuel tank!

So how the bucket looks..sorta :



It will have steelies all round, so spec



Bilstien B12, eibach springs. Cheers to chrex for the rears, and believe it or not, turbotom for the shocks!
Goodyear braided brake lines
v6 brakes
(need a rear arb)
Kumho ku31 tyres
toyo proxies on the spare steelies
15" steelies :)


F20 box, got Quaife LSD today :) - cheers steveboyslim!
Equal length driveshafts - cheers spankyjames
Full cat back powerflow system, with middle silencer.

C20xe engine, my last engine died, i left the cambelt covers off, alternator belt snapped, caught in the crank pully, and i had some bent valves ... So it's getting rebuilt, i trust myself giving a 1.3 starlet a go, but not this, so i've got it being built. rather large spec, i'll post pics and stuff as i get it :)

Interior full cali leathers plugged up yo!
Black door cards all round
new pedels and a cheapy steering wheels
white fury roof :cool::cool:
Depo headlights
external fan, internally wired :)


so plans are :






Doesn't look like much eh :/ cost more than a corsa should!




better get an ignition to run them :




it's staying standard, i'm considering a dodgy scooby bonnet for purpose not looks,



repainted rio verde, i don't want black.

All old pics, just to show what its life, and if the scooby bonnet will look too outragous or not.
