im with robbie on this one lad...
think ur mad if ya go gutting it..
get another shell and do all that to it..
but use this car for seat time.. all the parts are just bolt on and off anyway
its not very hard to get that car right again with the right few bits..
you'd have change from 500 quid....
and least you'd be out in it the next few weeks
Im with the lads on this also, i put Justjap hydro,adjustable suspension arms and extra lock kit in mine and the difference is so fucking unreal anyone that seen me out for the first time in the 180 and then the second time in the comp with them bits done will tell you the difference it made!!
Keep it simple!
Update:
Took the car for a drive on Sunday, car wont drive in a straight line as the tracking is all over the place andthe Turbo is fucked, the oil seals are gone in it. Its a T25 of a CA18 so im gonna replace it with a T28 of a s14 (maybe a T28BB)
I was really annoyed about this and is seamed like one thing after another went wrong so I considered breaking itbut the lads on FB convinced me to stick with it. Thanks lads.
Iv booked a week off work so I can purely focus on sorting this car outIll be in a garage in Lucan from Friday to the following Sunday working on this. Ill have two mechanics with me to give me a hand with it
The plans are to strip the car back to a bare shell again,
give the shell a good clean and weld in plates to seal off the A/C holes in the bulk head. Ill be getting the Just Jap xtra lock
and we might have a go at tubbing the rear arches (depending on time as we only have 10 days
)
Word of warning im prob gonna be annoying the fuck out of a few of yea about the car so ill apologise in advance.
Lots of love,
Joe![]()
lad i wudnt be worrying about welden up aircon holes unless its utmost neccesity and unless your runnin really wide rims on rear theirs no need for tubbing,i survived for 3 years without doing any of these things, your sole focus with that car is to get it handling,spend the money on only the right bits and bring it to wez to get set up and be done with it once and for all.![]()
