I would of kept the rotas to be honest,beams should make it a cracker of a car!
cool cam .. looks mint .. there much work in putting the beams in ??
lookin good man ! good to see its still goin! did u take off spoiler? i would have kept the wheels too man, an low but id wasnt the nicest to drive haha!
BoyRacer_X
14-07-12, 17:38
I think the new shoes look unreal on it. Stunning ae86 lad :D
Think the old wheels looked nicer too, dont like the fogs either but other than that sweet car, say it will be mental with the beams. :)
liamcrowley
14-07-12, 18:29
Lovely car lad, I think you made the right decision putting the diomand racing wheels on it, it looks mad!;)
Good luck with the beams conversion should be a fairly nippy car, have heard they are tricky enough to wire up tho!:S
Dude the Diamond Racing wheels look awesome!

Sweet looking booter lad! prefered the other alloys tbh but either way she's one mean looking car :)
Lovely booter man, rather the rota's but still looks the biz!
rite update time after a lot of head scratching and chatting with few people i decided to sell the beams engine and go sr now i know how against the rules that is but id be forever trow-in money at the beams to get it near the hp i want to be at so for cheaper power i bought an sr engine box and loom so out with the 4age
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu126/ejf86/2012-06-03170439.jpg
bought my first sr of lad in wicklow bought a s14 engine for the vvt so i could adjust the low down power and maybe work on spooling it quicker so i knew i have to mod the tunnel so i began by cutting off the top and messaging the firewall so i could sit the engine back as far as i could
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu126/ejf86/2012-06-09152902.jpg
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu126/ejf86/1341685236827.jpg
after that it was down to crossmembers so engine was placed in and started to line up it sat in perfect in engine bay back where i wanted it so happy days but hit a wall the when i saw where the gearstick was coming up as i didnt want to cut the member coming across as it would make it too weak so thinking cap on if i moved the engine forward it was going to be too much weight over the front wheels so google the shit out of it that nite and say ya could use a rb20 box after bit lookin i got onto alan sinnotte as he had crossmembers for sale talkin to alan was big help and got lot questions answered so engine box members all got just rb box left to get

new tunnel
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu126/ejf86/1339253212210.jpg
as for wiring this i got few quotes off people and was thinkin of doing it myself but that could be a dangerous got call from lad in cork selling full sr20 conversion sitting in cam wired ready to go so stuck up the s14 engine for sale and went down for look happy days saves me few quid on wiring
here it is sitting in his car
http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu126/ejf86/2012-06-30133415.jpg
