Thanks mate but the project has taken a turn for the better

The project has taken a turn for more power LoL Sold the Redtop Beams engine and Supra 5 speed box, the engine was quoted from Toyota at 197bhp, not enough thou... Wanting to stay Toyota I've just upgraded to the Blacktop Beams engine from an Altezza with a 6 speed gearbox quoted at 220bhp. I've also bought an OS Giken clutch and will be running this engine on 20v ITB's and stacks...

The new plan is to move the engine back 3 inches through the bulkhead, modified the front arms and knuckles for insane lock, fit a pedal box, wire tuck, new front coilovers, 4pots upfront, flatten the engine bay, cage it, stripped interior, soda blast the shell and give her a full respray inside and out.

Also the wings, doors, bonnet, rear hatch will all be replaced with lightweight fibreglass panels and the glass swapped out for Lexan polycarbonate window kit, 2 seats and harness's all to be finished for this Oct. Roll on some crazy busy weeks ahead !!!

Here are some pic's :

Change in engine and box meant some chopping so we decided to go the full hog Working on a new gear linkage so all should be fine
