Hi, who made the vtec cradle?

hmmn i dont know if i can aford one right now but i will look into it what company did you get the kit from

If you were serious about it, you would be hard pressed to find a cheaper complete solution than this....

It could not cost you more than $500USD to get it here. $2000usd = $2632aus. Crazy if you didn't really.

a mob called Mini Tec in the US. They are really helpful and even threw in a Mk3 to Mk1 subframe conversion kit for me for free... as the k-series are all mk3 shells onwards and we dont have those mk3 shells here in aus

check out the site..

As for that Kit on Ebay! wow thats everything you need right there and for a REAL good price 2.. being a watsons kit im guessn it'll be LHD or RHD.. but that looks like a LHD steering rack that comes with it

now the question is, is it possible to do this conversion without extending the front wings on a round nose?

just get the fibreglass flip front that the company offers.....

all sorted.....



other then that im not sure....

_________________

i havent found a prefabricated kit yet that fits the vtec in a standard round nose... they all have to be 90mm longer..

i guess if you did it all urself it'd be possible

There is a cheaper option - Allspeed, I have ordered one, should be here in a month or so, cost for the subframe was $1700 and luckily for me, I am bringing it over in my mates container, so much cheaper then anywhere else, shouldnt be much more than $2000 landed! but thats using all mini suspension and brakes! I am not extending the front either!

wat stuff do you get with the allspeed kit?
