Yes mate the car is in sheffield :) i live in dronfield if you know it PM me, you can come have a look if ya want :)
 
A little late to this I know, but my mate is currently at the same stage. He's got the engine & box in (just) and was doing the centre mount on Saturday and is going to start the wiring/cooling/driveshaft things. The n/s shaft looks like its going to be mighty short - any ideas where he can get some made up? We're in the Oldham area.
 
i havent got round to soring the shafts yet im getting the other bits in first im gathering bits for the wiring like diagrams and such fourth.

rad is on the way so that will be plumbed in this weekend, need to sort some bits for fueling. suspention is orderd and will be here soon, once all thats done ill get her back to my house do the back and wiring and get the shafts made then.

I think im gona use pro-shaft i dont know yet.

Cheers
Ian

lol no problem man :-

A) the splitter is a laguna splitter of a renalt laguna i saw in the scrapyard £20
b) the the grils are the chrome ones sprayed up black i did it miself cost £15 in paint
c) to do the front lights you need to heat them in the oven prise the glas off when the glue is hot then spend time painting the bit inside black, then seal it back up.
 
Ian - you are the MAN!!! This will be the quickest SR20 K11 in history, and it will all run fine, i promise you that! I know the amount of work that has been put into this, it will ALL pay off. Will be donwn once you've completed it to investgate your work!!

Can't wait - only a small time left now mate :) :)

Tutch :kungfu:

Where is he based?? Is this the one from outside Cumbernauld?
 
i wonderd how long it would be untill daves car would be mentioned...... iv already spoken to various people about it lol so im not gona start on here fair play to him having the cash to pay to have it done.... im having to do it myself though.

and mine would stil be quicker round a race track :p like he said himself without the slicks he carnt use the power and in anything less than bone DRY its usless.

iv choped and changed my mind alot but now im set N/A all the way :p
 
i'll come on a track too keep me posted when and where its gonna be, dont have anything like the speed you two do but i wanna go on a track all the same
 
yes youll get a briefing on the day. However the aim is not to race, believe it or not. Its simply to have fun with your car, if a faster car comes up from behind you your supposed to let them past.

Ditto, but I wanna get lowered first hehe :)
 
I could build my car myself very easly...but as I've said before, I have neither the time or resources to build the car!

I have a #### load of respect for you attempting the swap yourself, as it ain't easy!

Good luck to you on competing on the track, where ever it may be, but I'm not really a track person, hence why I am setting it up for the strip!

Cheers anyways!

Dave

P.S. It would be good to get against each other on the track just to see how well mine would fair up!
 
how do dave :) yeah i know were setting them up for completly different purposes.. i wanna see yours completed only seen the hakf way pics..
