Sounds like that'd be fun to pilot!

Is it OTR yet bar the paint and spoiler?


Blogs tend to go in the forum section up above ^ but I suspect a mod'll be along shortly to move it up there.
 
Ah my bad.. By OTR do you mean on the road? Sorry my text slang aint up to scratch :blush: its all little bits now like the panhard rod and shafts ect.. just got off the phone to insurance and its £810! as im 20 im happy with that.
 
Good project here (Y) Glad to see things like suspension and brakes are being uprated!

Im sure a couple of people on here would want some driveshafts made up...maybe a group buy?
 
OH MY GOD!

This looks Ace, want to see it in person. Where did you get this Digital/LCD Display from?

What size is SR20DE litrewise?
 
Awesome! You had the SR20 100NX didnt you? Is this the same engine?

How come you didnt just just a standard almera GTi rad? That one is huge! Looks a bit exposed behind the bumper too.
Looks awesome, cant wait to see it finished.
 
Thread moved to blogs.
