Bought the car off this site around 18 months ago with an auto 202 in it. Hated it, stupid thing would start chugging when you put your foot down for too long, which you had to do to keep up with traffic. So put a 5spd behind it, and was still hopeless. Went into Seres Engineering to get my spool put in a few days before Easternats, and he kept begging me to put an RB in it. Was losing my license the day after 'nats anyway, so told him to come and pick it up. Saved me having to find somewhere to keep it. Plans started off pretty simple. 10k budget, use one of their built motors, find a second hand turbo, diff, and gearbox, injectors and away we go... then I went stupid. Kept upgrading everything as I went, figured might as well do it properly the first time. Then after talking to engineers they said they wouldn't pass it with the 35/40 on it, so we ran it N/A and had to buy a bunch of emissions gear and whatnot. Was well worth it in the end just to see the look on peoples faces when a Group A drops a dose Basic rundown of the car: RUNNING GEAR RB30E balanced acid dipped, Hypatec pistons with hastings rings, vlt oil pump, new water pump, acl race bearings, MLS-R 3 layer metal headgasket, head work, custom cam, psr external wastegate with screamer pipe, gt3582r 1.06 rear, duz360 plenum, billet fuel rail with 660cc injectors, bosch .044 fuel pump with a pierburg high volume lift pump(intank), 450x300x100 cooler, 3" exhaust, xf throttle body, wolf 3d v4 ECU DRIVELINE Gearbox: mx7 5spd, strengthened, excedy cushion button clutch, machined flywheel Diff: VL LSD Suspension: Kingspring Superlows, all bushes replaced etc, larger swaybar. INTERIOR Trim: Full cereluean blue calais interior. VL centre console (VK one doesn't fit over VL gearstick ) Gauges: Autometer Monster Tacho, Speco meter oil, water, boost on bonnet. Steering Wheel: Autotecnica. Only one I could find that had padding and looked decent, sick of the defects from non-padded ones. STEREO Head unit: Flip out Pioneer DVD screen Speakers: Front- 240w Pioneer | Rear - 280w MBQuartz Amp: none anymore Subs: none anymore (got forced to take it all out to reduce weight ) EXTERIOR Wheels: 19" VX GTS / 15x4 Convo Pros and ceptors with slicks Paint: Formula Blue Bodykit: Original HDT Group A kit, with HDT stamps Group 3 scoop, molded around gauges Made 260rwkw on its first tune on what's apparently a low reading dyno, hoping to hit closer to 300 with a bit more work. Interior is next, got VE GTS seats just saving up to get them trimmed and a custom rear seat made up, then it's time for a 26 head and trying to get a feature Cheers for reading -Blake Couple of older pics: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
