Well now it has been to CaRS I can show it to the masses!

How I bought it;

The Pre-CaRS build including prep and paint;

Proof I made it ;D

The current spec is;

Engine

2K 993cc
ITG filter
Straight through Exhaust with Bike can
Oil cooler running through thermostatic sandwich plate

Gear Box

K50 5 Speed

Suspension

lowered 2" at rear on Escort lowering blocks
Front springs have had height re-assignment treatment and the front struts have been rebuilt with EP90 oil instead of the dirty water they were full of previously!

Brakes

Brakes are stock with just the dust shields removed for more cooling.
Rebuilt with new seals/pistons/pipes throughout.

Interior

Stripped of everything
Cobra Classic low back bucket seats
TRD 4 point harnesses
3 spoke steering wheel and snap off boss
5" Rev Counter with shift light
Aluminum Fire wall

The performance mods have be limited for now as I wanted to get it prepped and painted for CaRS show. The paint still needs flatting and polishing, which will be this weeks job.

The next stage is to find and fit a 5k 1500cc from a Lite ace which will make it pretty fast as it only weight around 600kgs :o

the car will stay like this until winter, when I will be building and fitting the 4age and T40 box I have!

Fantastic and only @ 21! Lovin' the small details, such as "86" and the bfluid reservoirs! Finish it off with offset stripes and Castrol stikers ftw x 6!

Very impressed, I didn't see the full potential when it was bought, you knew exactly what you were doing with it. 8-) Neat and simple. Does it feel plenty powerful? Looks it!

Pretty amazing really. It took me 7 days to paint a room in my house and change a toilet seat.

Great little car, chuffed to see it! Good that you've seen the light when it comes to J-cars, I remember commenting when you sold the Chevette that you should get one as it would be impressive to see what you'd make of it.

I know the pieces fit, 'cause I watched them tumble down. No fault, none to blame. It doesn't mean I don't desire to point the finger, blame the other.
