I'm blatantly going to copy and paste from Club K because 8+ years of posts will take forever to try and redo. I'm currently lacking any form of motivation for this car since it last saw the road, and I've now put it into long term storage because I have no space whatsoever for it here. August 2006 wtf right Figured I might as well put a thread up here for my toy. Thats how it looked when I bought it. A young guy in Marton had it and was going to do the good old rotary conversion...basically he managed to wreck the wiring, chop/remove the springs and prime the car before losing interest/ability. I havent managed to do a heck of alot since acquiring it (buying houses does that!), I've just replaced all the suspension with KYB struts, Cobra coils nolathane etc. I've overhauled the brakes too, as when I bought it the front hoses had been disconnected and dragged along the road :thumbdown: I bought DBA slotted rotors initally, but they're too thick, so I'm going to investigate having them machined slightly so they will, hopefully without going below minimum thickness. Enginewise, I've slowly been collecting bits and pieces to hopefully get a reasonable amount of poke from a 4K I got for $40 60 thou over ACL pistons, a rather hot camgrind from Kiwi Cams...am also going to use some A15 valves for that extra bit of airflow. Have a pair of Dell'orto's on the mantlepiece to hang off the side too. Initially I was going to build it up as a bit of a nice tidy street car, sticking with period mods, but as I've been procrastinating doing work on it, I've gotten more interested in it being more of a weekend track/strip warrior. Hopefully I'll actually get some work done on it over the next few months, and who knows - I might actually finish it at some point
