Do you have a b16a ?and what subframe will / are you using? I am happy to pm my number if I can be any help.


I'm using a D series - a ZC, non vtec.... with a diff in the back

Tricky (Archangel007) and I are collaborating, and doing one each. We're working up some fancy designs for them :)

having a registered precident is great, and if my engineer needs reassurance, I'll be in touch ;)

I've read about some of them are pushing 550 at the wheels.... they reckon 250 is reliable with standard internals - we're going to keep ours sensible, AREN'T WE TRICKY!

have you driven yours in anger at all yet Peter?

are you planning to come to Mt Cooper in December with it?

Yep we sure are - 250hp at all four wheels is enough for me!

Maybe a GT2870RS or something! :wink:

Well, there're never finished, are they? At least it's on full reg now and I can drive it. Here's some sharper pictures of the engine bay. If I'd given the engine a coat of paint the bonnet wouldn't have shut!

Nothing unusual here.....

Or here.....

What's under the bonnet mate?

A closer look...

Side view....

Am I happy to have it finally on the road? Whay do you think?....

VERY VERY NEAT! :D

I love it! Classic sleeper looks and the undebonnet area is beautiful. I always think a good conversion is one that looks factory fitted, and this one does! So tidy! :D

Cheers,

That's a terrific job Pete, and I mean that most sincerely.

Like the guys say, it looks neat enough to be factory (dont we all wish that!).

Q: Where did you put the fuse and relay box, as they are quite bulky!

Nice hidden wiring too!

Cheers,
Tricky
