[G.Lenihan]

Did you win the euromillions by any chance :p
Savage gear goin in lad!

what he said, fair clean:eek: gonna be some job when finished, nothin spared

[MCNSPORT.com]

Nice job man, nice do see some1 doing it properly

quick question about the fuel cell, wont you have to firewall it from the drivers compartment??

[kouki_kid]

Cheers for the comments guys much appricated. Ya Darren have to make
a firewall for the rear section havint decided yet how to do it as ive no pipe
work run yet for the tank.

[MCNSPORT.com]

Cheers for the comments guys much appricated. Ya Darren have to make
a firewall for the rear section havint decided yet how to do it as ive no pipe
work run yet for the tank.

Ah right,

Is it too late to cut the floor and sink the tank down into the spare wheel well
would look nice and neat with a small firewall inside then and will keep the weight nice and low in the chassis, fuel is heavy

Not telling you your business, just a suggestion

[TIMMY495]

Dis build is deadly, nice to see alot of pride goin into your work man! very tidy, id hate to drive dis in d rain wen its finished!, id be afraid of al them shiny new suspension bits geting dirty!! lol :p

[kouki_kid]

Ya its probably to late at this stage to go cutting the floor Darren, would
it be legal for the regs if I made a flat panel to sit on the floor and seal at
the boot door window when its closed down also is there a requirement
for what the firewall is to be made of.

[MCNSPORT.com]

ya pretty sure that would be cool

and really no requirments as to what it has to be made of. once you make a nice tasty job of it, it should be fine and it looks like that will be no prob to ya

keep up the good work!!

[kouki_kid]

Cheers Darren good to know need to get fuel system in first then will go
looking into it.

[kouki_kid]

Been away in athlone for college since the start of january so havint made
much progress back to work tomor so can get going on it again. Finally
got it off the spit on its new wheels have spacers on the way aswell
fitment on the back is a bit weak at the mo,

[dafridgea]

Just wondering why you did not decide to tub out the front arches.

[Robbie Daly Ps13]

Theres no need to tub front arches unless your running massive wheels..............!

[johns13silvia]

savage build lad keep up the good work

[kouki_kid]

Thats pritty much the reason as Robbie said it should be fine on a
9 and half inch rim. Been doing wiring for last couple of days
removing crap thats not needed, theres a lot of weight to be saved
from the loom will post pics in a day our so when I have the bits finished!!

[stack-180sx]

will you have this finished for this year lad??

[Larry L]

A big glass box is the only place for this car!!! Quailty of work is class... best of look with the rest of the build:)

[kouki_kid]

Thats the plan so far lad its a disaster trying to get parts together
at the mo

[kouki_kid]

Been a while since ive updated this been messing with wiring have everything
gone from the original loom now and im left with 4 wires :eek: Haha the rest
I will make myself it amazed me how much crap there actually was in the loom
Also started bolting small bits back on and to a big step forward yesterday
and started to pipe the the fuel stuff just waiting for my swirl pot to finish
the inside of the car off heres some pics,

chance

Which had inside my brakes. There 330mm discs front and back with a 6pot
caliper for the front and 4 for the rear. I opted to get a custom colour
done on them which was picked out by Mick from Barrys motorsport
which was spot on. So set about fitting them today have the fronts on
rears tomor heres some pics,

[cianc]

Well James!! A serious serious build and fair play to you!! I've seen this come along from the start and i can't wait to see the end product!! I don't think theres many (if any) cars being built with such attention to detail as you have.... It only seems like a few months ago we went to japfest with this white 180 kitted up!!

Get some new pics up!! Great work dude :)

[LAGGER]

[AndysR20det]

[Darenm]

[kouki_kid]

This has been quiet with a good while guys mostly cause ive been giving
mick barry a hand with his compact all year so kinda put the nissan to the
side for a while, Have still been collecting bits along the way though.
Collected the head from robbie last month after he machined the combustion
chambers for me, Block is currently being machined up with it darton liners:)
Got a mazworxs headgasket oil adapter block and there stunning sr20 inlet
manifold aswell. Hopefully will finally start assembly on the engine within the
next 2 weeks. Had to bin the idea of the version select bumper as it was too
short so reverted to the d style bumper i had and also added a pair of
koguchi power 50mm front wings:cool: that i got from super clarkey!!

This is the manifold,

This is it with orignal kit and koguchi wings,

[darren C]

that will be a serious looking car when finished lad. what power you aiming to get?
who done the cage for you ?

[kouki_kid]

It should b well able to get mid 400 figures
I reckon but it's the torque that will make the engine
the cage was done by nick Jackson of nickson motor
sport in england

[Driftma]

Ant copies of the front wings lying around??? epic build btw:cool:

[tweek]

This car is the business looks like no expense spared can't wait to see the finished product.
Those Mazworx inlet plenums are sexy I wish I had deep enough pockets for one loving the front wings and rear arches.

[sil8094]
