fair play indeed,that it is a tidy bay like the airbox aswell..nice touch.it was 5 years ago I did it and none of the parts would line up..mounts were an absolute nightmare

haha ghetto dashboard cleaner

yh its pretty good i reckon, loads of torque, fitting wasnt to bad really, did it in a few days and ironed out the faults over a few weeks

not to sure power wise mike,at an educated guess perhaps 200hp but could be way out,flowed head,cams,carbs...should imagine itd go quite well

yee really wants tidying up ,would love a complete 6r4 kit ...seems very difficult to get hold of,perhaps it might be something id have to get custom made or engineered

It could do with a bit of tidying up wouldn't take much really.

hello,not been on in over 2 years ,I used to have a corsa xev and a clio trophy...Just when I thought id grown out of toys cars I bought a nissan navara...which is possibily in the top 3 boring cars to drive FACT. So ive decided to buy a weekend toy to enter the longton district sprint series in 2011 andn other track outings,wanting something fun and different I stumbled across this..

I havent at actually bought it yet,im going to see it this weekend with the intention of buying but I just thought I would put it out there...and if and when I got it keep this updated









Its not the prettiest of things by any stretch of the imagination ,even if its for a bit of track fun I would love to see it in white with black pro race 1s or rondells?Would also generally tidy it up wiring etc.Its logbooked as a rally spec so id just keep it as that,the harnesses are out of date but things like that would be replaced no expense spared.Let me know your thoughts ..The engine is a flat four N/A suburu 1.8 with idf carbs and a few other trick bits...Can be changed between rwd and 4wd .Cheers Al:thumbs:
