Hey guys This is my BT1 that I bought about 9 or so months ago, it had a worked SOHC in it with a VERY big cam. I have since then blown the rings in the motor and it has been off the road for about the past 5 or so months I sold the SOHC and all the turbo gear off it and have since bought: Autronic SMC n 500R CDI RB25 vvt head T60-1 turbo VLT coils Custom Plenum 600x300x76 front mount New bumpers have also been bought and the wheels havw been polished. The car should be up and running by mid feb hopefully Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

plans hav now changed on my car hav sold the T60-1 to RB3-747 will b going to twin turbos instead either twin rb25 turbos or twin s15 t28s most likely the rb25 turbos aslong as they can b mounted onto the rb26 manifolds easily this setup will actually produce more power then the t60-1 but the turbos wont b as reliable or nething will also save me having to get my manifold fitted wit a wastegate only thing is i gotta find the rb26 manifolds hav also picked up sum calais side moulds n hopefully can talk a m8 into sellin me his calais rear lights Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
