How much is this costing all in to do?? I know your doing most of the work yourself but getting parts fabricated etc. Rough budget costs and a breakdown of them would be cool.
Paint job, what about Jap style, reverse graphics etc? Matt black would look great too.
I wasn't going to do this for a while but, Ill give a rough rundown on cost..
Nearer the end of the project Ill give a much more exact price..
Here goes but please take note.. Bot everyone attempting an SR20DE conversion is going to have wide arch kit fitted etc.. Esp to hand..
Rough Costs:
I paid 500 for the car INC shafts from raceworx
Normally this would cost you around 600 for WRC spec shafts and 400 for decent donor car without engine etc..
I purchased a P10 eGt for 100quid plus 60quid flatbed truck..
I sold loads of panels of the raceworx shell that i didn't need, and recovered about 250quid..
I stripped the P10 eGT for everything I needed and anything else I could sell, then had it collected and scrapped for free..
Made around 350pounds off bits ive sold off the eGT, mainly full exhaust system and Hotshot Header,
Purchased engine crane and various tools/parts/fabrication needed for conversion in addition to what Ive already got.. 250quid,
Stripped the wide arch yellow micra and had it collected for free.. Sold and fitted engine and performance engine parts for ( 300 pounds mark )
Electric water pump from australia 120
Ive purchased all the materials I need for the altering and full fitment of the bodykit, panels 100quid...
Purchased exhaust bits off ebay and people on msc 150 Purchased Some primera/micra bits and pieces I missed 20quid
purchased battery, cable, electical tape, couplings, gaffa tape etc.. 60quid..
all the panels and bodykit Ive already got inc lights ...
Roll cage 350quid
Some fabrication 50quid
Cai Intake 45quid
New Autocrome 4,2,1, manifold 120quid
Harnesses 50quid
Bearings 40quid
Welding supplies 20quid
Some more... but thats the main, Included are about 3 ive not got yet but will have soon..
Ive not included the price I paid for he kit originally because it depends if your fitting a kit..
TBH if you were to just lower the car with alloys and keep the bodywork standard you would save on most of my cost.. But I want the 225 tires on the deep dish rims with the wide track.... and need the arches for that... plus for the looks... lol.
Also these prices do not include labour. Ive done all this myself with the help sometimes of Elliot.. ( <-Top guy )
.......So... cost depends on what youve already got to hand and hpw much you can do yourself...
975quid, if my quick count up is correct,..... Call it 1000pounds has got me a micra fitted with a
Highport SR20DE with stainless race manifold, Alu CAI, Wide Arches fitted, Rollcage, Buckets, Twin boot exit, smooth doors, Deep dish alloys, blitz Ht leads, new 2t engine crane, many ckuffed knuckles, ...
Given the added cost of unforseen things in addition too that above for the MOT etc.. also the full repray at around 600quid and new tires.. Im looking at a conservative total cost of around: 2200pounds + the loss of my wide arch micra ( priceless lol )
Also a total of around 3 weeks labour for the strippign of the 3 cars and building of 'Krisallis' lol
But I will have one of the most unique micras in europe with blistering performance.. Hopefully..
I dont think its too expensive for the attention the car will be getting.. fingers crossed..
