I figured I may as well post up some pics and specs of my car seeing as I've had it a few months now!
At the moment it's mostly stock engine-wise. SR16VE with stock computer, 3" alloy intake and "stock" Autech exhaust. Suspension wise it is on Tein HA coilovers.
When I got it it looked like this...
A few things have been done since then, I've been working on a custom front bumper, I've made myself a new grill and rebolstered the drivers seat so that I don't fall out under heavy cornering.
The car, however, is a base for something a little bit more interesting.
What you see is an SR20VE block nearing completion. Mods to this engine will be...
8cw crank
SR16VE pistons (shaved 1mm and ceramic coated)
ARP rod bolts
ARP head bolts
SR20VET metal headgasket
Stage 4 Franklin Race cams
Franklin Valve springs
3 angle valve grind
A daughterboard will be running a different tune and it'll be pumping through a 3" mandrel bent exhaust with some custom made 4>1 headers (similar specs to the ones Charles is making but shipping costs to get one of his would be through the roof!). I also have a 4 puk Exedy clutch and a JUN ultra lightweight flywheel to aid spin up time.
I'm hoping to have the pistons, crank and rods back today so I can take the pistons in for ceramic coating and then I can start assembling the engine next weekend and hopefully put it in the car the weekend after.
It's all quite exciting stuff and I really can't wait to feel the power of the SR20VE again, I've missed it since it came out of my old car (P10 Primera) in November!
