Hey guys.. Not too much to update. Dramas with other cars preventing me from working on the ute much. (smashed my coupe falling asleep on freeway home from qld all Jap day, so I spent the next few months rebuilding it... May have gone crazy on the underbody and rails, making all new rails, raising the floor and dropping the car another inch haha. .. Took it to matsuri... Skidded 2 laps decent.. Water pump failed.. Car misfired mid corner... Traction... Off the track you go buddy... Smashed all the front off again hahahah.. Lasted 2 days looking nice... So it's in for a rebuild again for the 4th time... My daily driver blew up so I been doing an engine swap on that also... Not much time left for the ute... But here goes.
Things kinda changed in my mind for the car and I knew I'd get bored of the a series very quickly... I decided on a 13b BP carby swap... Before realising I want to drive the car as often as possible... So I did chose the worst sounding 4cylinder of all time. Hahah a John Deere sr20...
Decided to make my own chassis rail because the factory rails wouldn't allow the height I want the car to sit at... So I hand made some rails for it.
(the other 15x12 - 78 wheels from a z31 circuit car I bought for a laugh and decided to see what it would look like hahah... But I may aswell build another super short diff and actually put them on for shits and giggles one time and see if it launches well. ..
I'll be keeping it on the 14x8 and 14x9 mk2 for everyday driving
Some photos. (sorry about the sloppy layout.. My phone is killer to try to this on)
