Thanks guys.

Rear looking a bit more healthy now, and my new front bumper arrived, just need to clean the tape etc off it before fitting.

Starting to sell parts from my S13 now so will hopefully have the cash gathered for the Manual swap soon.

More to come

This arrived the other day as a donor for the gearbox, managed to pick it up for £700 delivered to my door (From London) which was a bargain considering the price of these gearboxes now days.

A day after arriving at my house it looked like this..

Also earlier in the week I whipped out the SR20DE from the S15.

Nice R154 ready to clean up

Ordered my Mounts and gearbox bellhousing yesterday so should hopefully have them here in a week, more updates to come then!

And.. Getting this tomorrow all being well..

Exedy hyper single clutch and flywheel

Pretty much good for a test fit in the coming week, then a bit of paint for the engine bay.

More to come.

Nice job man.
Looking forward to more updates.

 

[chopaholic]

A few updates, things have been slow for a little while, will hopefully be picking up the pace from here.

New front mount arrived.

Bought some new wheels, SSR Professor SP1 - 17x10 ET16 and 17x9 ET16, very good condition however I will be getting them stripped and polished instead of black.

Finally got my oil returns sorted, cut, moved and tig welded. Fits like a glove now

Next on the list is sorting out the engine bay, needs a few small patches welded in and it will be getting a nice fresh coat of paint, its then time to put the engine in

More soon..

Good stuff ... Can't wait to see finished product

 

[Nicky]

That's a very tidy wee bit of TIG'ing.

What are you doing for intercooler pipes?

 

[McFall1984]

looks good

 

[PaddyN]

love s15's...can't wait to see this finished

Got a new downpipe and elbow for the turbo's, took a little bit of work to get it to fit but I got there in the end.

Mount fouled the new elbow sightly so had to trim it down a bit, painted them silver at this point also.

A few bits and bobs.

SSR's still in need of the centres stripped and polished.

Test fit on the car, obviously need alot less tyre and some arch roll.

Quick test of the paint on the engine bay before it got welded up.

Its actually alot more green than the photo shows, its pretty much exactly the colour from the side of this bus.

Engine bay is now all welded up thanks to my mate Derek, done a fab job which I will get pictures up of soon.

New steering wheel should be here mid week and hopefully have my Kevlar Brides ordered soon also.
