nice project lad! this will turn out well, keep the updates coming

Good man Si, your not wasting any time!

nice litle project lad good work keep it up..

cheers lads, slowly but surely it will come together

Sounds like this will be an interesting car....Do you think thats gtss is a bit off waste straped to the side off an sr22?

Also think this.... Fair play lad gonna be a cool little car when your finished.... Updating build threads takes longer that building the car sometimes.... Keep it up lad good work....

Was thinking the same lads. Just happened to have it there and it seemed the cheapest option.. A gt3071 would really be the job. Just don't want to be going power mad. Suppose I'll see how i'm fixed before I get the map, haven't even started and the wallets empty!

why sr22 if you dont want mad power?...that turbo will be under big pressure at the 380 mark....Best off luck anyway man

Was initially going to just put the 86mm pistons in but then I was thinking when everythings apart its worth it for the extra few quid getting the block bored for the 90mm. I'm sure they'll also be a bit more torque with 22 aswell

Ye i'm told 360 is pushing max flow with gtss. Dead right, bigger turbo..

Few bits arrived...



Haven't got much time with college and work to get up the garage. Will update as soon as I get something done. The r33 brakes still need to be sorted aswell

Just a quick update.. no pics.

Ordered solid subframe bushes - the ones that bring the subframe closer to the body

Stripped everything but the engine, need to get the lift down to the garage the weekend and it'll come out

On the hunt for a rb25 box if anyone has, PM me

PS I just realized the 90mm pistons I got are for an sr23, dunno why I had 22 in my head, so all good

Got moving on stripping everything from the block. Took lots of pictures.. but mainly for us to remember how everything goes back together.

TDP are fair busy in the machine shop for the next 3 weeks so the block won't be bored for another while.

Going to start working on the rear subframe next, arms and subframe bushes, cut the the wheel well out for the fuel cell.

Theres just not enough hours in the day and it makes ya feel like you're not progressing.. mainly stripping!

I have been searching around for inspiration.. this is what I have in mind, maybe in yellow or red. The kit is fairly cheap.. Origin styling front and rear with origin aggressive skirts with a small boot spoiler, not quite rocket bunny.. bit more subtle

Any opinions/input welcome

cheers,
Si
