Its evil mwhahaaa

Cheak out the Driftworks link at top of thread for more info :)
Cool build thread on Driftworks, bad luck on the engine failures, fingers crossed for ya on your 3rd rebuild. Good luck brapping and skidding
Thanks mate, well due to the coils this time the rebuild is necessary as did do a tip.
Last time was just me getting greedy and wanting the bridge other then the street ;)
Big thanks the Carl @ Hayward though hes really helped me out with sponsorship, he must know talent when he See\'s it ha!
nice fitting front - where is it from ?
Cheers dude, Oh that would be the Guys at Replikit (http://www.replikit.co.uk/) big thanks to tim:)
That must be of my original mould, glad the fit is good, are you getting any other bits done bodywise?

Iv got the sides and rear bumper.
But will probably need some new front wings as mine are not well due to some close twinning with a AE86 :Giggle
great project, that front end looks so much better :Thumbsup!
when its rebuilt get it on a dyno, id like to see the powercurve
colum
awesome project
also, was loving the twin action on lfs earlier btw :D
replikit do the front wings as well, wider and with vents in the sides, just see my thread on my project FC for the pics of what the whole kit looks like. They actually owe me the whole kit so i could have done you a deal.
Could you PM me a price for the kit Pete? If your up for selling it. I may be intrested if the price is right.
Mmmmm wider wings!
Hey beezy, glad u\'ve got a kit sorted in the end, lol
That bumper is sweet, not too OTT :)
Cheers guys. :cheers
Hey Pete im pritty good man, Tim at replikit is doing some good things to help me out in the race scene.:Thumbs-up
Should be goin up to Carls soon see how it commin on, Should be running her in over crimbo time :D cant wait!!!
Hello Mate :Talking1
Looking good as always.
fresh out today!

OOOOOO :D nice work :D I don\'t think you could even fit a bigger V mount in there lol :D awesome work mate :) What air filter is that?
just out of interest, is there any differance which side you put the bov? ie before the ic or after the if?
i see a lot of highly tuned engines have the bov after the ic.
Yo Beezy boy! If you swap those front wings out, can I call dibs on your current ones?!
Quote from: BBCFC;581417just out of interest, is there any differance which side you put the bov? ie before the ic or after the if?
i see a lot of highly tuned engines have the bov after the ic.
I guess as soon as the throttle plates close the highly tuned engines need to get rid of any pressure waves from that at the source, so im guessing they are closer to the throttle butterflies to get rid of the pressue there first? just a guess lol
As I said on DW/msn.. top class Beezy. :D
Cheers Lads!!
Well as for the BOV, in what your saying Mitch/BBCFC yes it would get rid of the pressure quicker if it was on the cool side, but i did look into it and TBH you could never tell the difference between the too.
There is hundreds or highly tuned engines in Japan and the US running there BOVs on the hot side from your SR20, JZ and many Rotarys.

maybe put one either side.. that should make a difference :Giggle
nice looking car and saw this when I went to Carls the other week. They were actually doing your engine at the time. Going to be a wicked lump in there. Hopefully your car will be gone when i pick my engine up, thats if you have not already picked it up.
Nice to see the wide arch kit on as well, it does look the dogs B%ll%cks, be good to see that in action. Must get some dates for the drifting scene, have not really been to any full days yet. No1 to have on the to do list for this year.
yeah get down to a Lydd day or closer to you is the santa pod practice days.. bargainous seat time for the money at both. :)
Cheers lads for the kind comments, Oh nice one taylor what you having done.
Get out to some drift days mate there good fun and a skill worth learning :)
One for the ladies!

Here\'s one of the new big updates :D:D:D
Well i know Dave Ruston has been working hard on http://www.driftrepublic.co.uk]Drift (//%5BURL) republic [/URL]the last few months, and now we have some results.
He rang me the other day asking to go with him to a meeting, to meet a man who has newly started out but supplying some amazing parts.....
This man was Jerrick Lo, founder of Meister Suspension
After a long chat I am pleased to say i have my first 09 sponsor http://www.meisterr.com]Meister (//%5BURL) Suspension[/URL]

Dibs on your old suspension!
LOL
Carl
Nice, very nice. Let us know how they hold up.
Thanks Guys!! Yea Alex that is Jarricks 32 :)
Stav i totally agree mate, MAP sensors is the route to a good running engine, AFM that only caused me lack of power and issues with them going wrong!
Haha yeah Dragon RX7 was just mental when its was running the 1000bhp drag setup, could only dream of driving something as sick as that..
Shocks went on tonight and so did some arch cutting and smashing!
first off i changed the spring for a softer setup
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00843.jpg)
Rears on looking mega sexy
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00846.jpg)
Basicly sat it down on this heights, will still tweak and play.:D
Was looking to go lower but still want nice clearance from arch cos of the softer springs!
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00852.jpg)
Not sure man, I take it you got a turbo? I understand all turboII are 200hp.
Been flat out again tonight getting this car all buttoned up touch wood all be going fine and almost sorted :D
Sorry about Jank photos, only using phone
First off front coilovers changes..
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00862.jpg)
Fixed camber good!!!!
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00860.jpg)

(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k182/Jon_minis/DSC00854.jpg)

Got enough tyres in your garage?
cars looking good,really good. matter of interest I might be in need of some coilovers and getting prices as we speak, can you drop an email as to the cost of yours (or should have cost) At least if they are a good price then the advertising will work for your sponsor.
Vey nice mate, are they the arches from replikit?
How well did they fit?
Well Lads just got back from Mapping, and OH MY FECKIN GOOD GOD!!!!
Massive thanks again to Carl for the awesome engine build ans super mappin it!
Set the boost up at .7bar then headed out, goin about 50mph then told me to boot it so i dropped it into 3er foot in and Raaaaaaazzzzdadadaaadaadaa spun into 4th then Raaaaaaazzzzdadadaaadaadaa (dry), haha that was that and headed back.
My cheeks hurt from all the grinnin, so now in the 400hp+ club at .7bar :D
