i like going mc sideways haha yeh bro pretty shure they make manifolds for the newer rx's just give him an email hes a super sweet on to it legit guy to deal with info@sdrmotorsport.com.au couldnt have asked for a better finished product DONT BUY A CHEAPISH MANIFOLD OFF TRADEME youll just end up making everything catch fire and booooooooom f'd if i can remember what turbo it is got it off at mate just know it has a .7 front and a 1ish exhuast have it all writin down somewhere... i used to be a N/A only man so cut some slack

pretty much want this car to have hints of crazy asain style.. was thinking of running the intercooler outside the grill but meh (im unsless at decisions!!!) just want my car to be different from the 100 million other rx2's/capellas!!!!! atleast a few people will shit there pants seeing it in the rear view mirror

meh not changing the intercooler for nobody its being built for drag racing hence more surface area the better had a smaller one and it looked waaaay to gay grill fits in as per normal and only had to cut the bottom of the valance out everything else is the same will sus a pick with the grill and bonnet on this weekend then youll understand how sweet it looks definitly going black with the interior racepros have red trimming on em so red and black it is but not rice stlyes!@?! maybe just black everything minus the seats? back seat is mint unripped the same as the door trims so i quick spray should see them right

oh true that was the mrs old place a while back now..live outwest way better small world i tell ya cant rememba the dudes name at unitec (to much pot) haha

dam you! hmm creams a hard one thers like a million tones of it!!!! Cheers for all the positive feedback only gives me more reason to work my arse off on it! ooo celica box should be bolted in this weekend aswell..scored adaptor bellhousing and fork from ozzy for a good price just need nice new hex bolts for it all

for some wierd reasons im thinking i dont want to paint her white anymore... any suggestions? i was thinking lambo orange for something extremely wierd plus black and orange go good together??

hahaha what the hell yeh bro i owned and built both of those cars! where did you see them? do you have any pics of the cortina? i didnt take any the whole time i had it then it got farking t-boned?@!?@!?

offence was strongly intended

yes it really needs such a massive intercooler small ones are for pussys, evo's, wrx's and skylines

Life half arse sorted (god dam women) so my cars started to get more love, rolled her outa the shed for the first time HOOOOORAY brakes pretty much sorted just need to buy a 100 million brand new bolts to make it all kapai interior should almost be finished this weekend just waiting for my dnyamat!! heres a wee pick, should have takin one with the grill on but doesnt make much difference mmm front camber! i wish it was IRS

BACK ON MUTHA F**KN TRACK! Shits kinda sorted with all my shit so cars starting to get some more love rolled her outa the shed for the first time IT MOVES!!!! brakes all sused going to hopefully finish the interior this weekend, just waiting for dynamat to arrive

UPDATE: crappy update!! broke up with the misues of 4years so cars on hold while i find a place with a grage to stay..at the moment the poor things in storage! shit happens..once i get the car going im shure ill be fine soo..watch this space

CHEERS! I feel some inspiration coming on ! enough typing more grinding

just thought id throw up a random pic of the front wheels theres still some dish action on the bastard and front can come down more

yeh i could easily fit atleast a 215 or even squeeze a 235 as the diffs been shortened in accordance but then if i did that i woulnt have some made stretch action then that would just be gay they are 8's thinking in the near future to get some wider inner and see how far i can push the wheel boundaries in the back before mini tubing and its sweet how you cant them anymore makes em that much sweetwr

they are 15 inch simmons ..with wait for it weeny tiny 185 50 15's streched on obviously wont use them for track use (the tyres anyway) got them painted (by my mate) all de curbed all re polished and the backs dished out so after all that they owe me alot of $$$$ worth it though

hay yeh it will end up getting a cage but maybe after the vinning process just to make it "a bit" easier its purpose.. well... to basically to scare the shit outa me and my mates but yeh will definitly be hitting track days and wsa building it as a drag car to so may see it appear at meremere alot but who knows if i cant b f'd with vinning the fines and all the stupid laws that around these days might just make it a dedicated 'fun' car if you get what i mean a real size toy car

alritey then its more picture time heres the boot with the panel steel but and box section all dummied about to be welded little fuel tank is for the methanol was a mission to make the template so it would but up, but managed to sus it after a few beers and heres the diff in (bolts finger tight) checking clearance issues which are close but non exsistant so much bigger than the standard pussa plus have a nice tight lsd for here everything looks crap how its so dirty but that will all change after paint and heres a but shot of the car.. the adjsutables are wound up so i can access underneath the boot easier etc..eats rim hard in the bum with them down but the front x-member gets a wee bit close to the ground (under 60mm) BUT DONT WORRY IM NOT A STAIN IT WILL ONLY DRIVE ON ITS LOWEST SETTING thats enough pics for today will get some decent ones this weekend when i push it outa the shed..also notice the inside of the rim with the diff picture .. its polished to

cheers mate should be a wee bit faster than the old mk1 cortina after this weekend it should be more of a car (interior should be done) and drivetrain almost sorted just sourced a 27mm sway bar for up the front so combined with the $1000's and $1000's ive spent on the bloody driveline it should go pretty sweet on the track to

leaving motor stock (this one anyway) just want to get the bitch going and thrash its tits off then theyl be bigger and better plans once its vinned and all that jazz yeh tyres are going to be a bummer as i can only source 2 more of what i have in N.Z!@@!!@ should be good for 300+

dont you worry bout that exhaust housing mate the turbos on the piss as i havent forked out for bolts yet (doing a massive batch of hex bolts) when its done up it sits about 5cm away which is sweet going to get that heat sheild crap to go over there anyway and dont worry bout the cooler either wanting to do something different i rekon it makes it look like a angry mutha f''ka plus it cant go any higher than it is as it will pop out the bonnet

alrite found some more pics this is at the stage where i had made up all the intercooler piping all nice and snug mounted up intercooler with some alloy (replacing with steel obviously) and just about to mount rad (thats why the tapes there) got a exhaust manifold of SDR in australia all niiiice everything sitting pretty much where it should, and whats this .... its a wee little turbo woohoo going to get anything that isnt alloy powder coated satin balck for something a bit different manifolds etc. heres a pic from the front how everything looks looks dirty as shit basically the plan is to put everything in how it should then rip it all out for panel and paint that way im not f''kn around with mint panel engine bay etc trying to fit everything its a Mr enforcer intercooler and yes it goes all the way up past the grill the plot thickens... just looked at that picture and it looks wierd makes the front bumper look all mental at everything looks outa proportion oh well ill get some better ones when shes out the shed this weekend note the awesome piece of wood in the top pic just waiting for bolts to smake the g-box on and that should be long gone..alot better then holding it in place with rope and shit though

best shape ever! cant beat the twin round lights updates will be thick and fast posting on here is like being a crack head, once you pop you cant stop
