Mr dori Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 O.k time for a update, Ive got a custom bellhousing from a1 turbos, w57 box with a front shift (i need a rear position). got a billet flywheel to suit 9.5" clutch, also got a exedy pink tuff 5 puk clutch kit. Ive decided to make new mounts on the crossmember instead of making new ones from motor, by using the factory cast alloy ones, it looks like it will be easyer and will look abit better and will be sitting the motor vertically on the mounts rather than form the side, hopefully works out.. Also brought brand new BC coilovers for a s13 that ill adapt onto the jzx81 5 bolt struts that im putting in, felt weird cutting up brand new coilovers! Ill keep the rear 4 stud as to use all the 4 stud wheels i have, but im think a 6.5" wheel isnt gana be enough grip 4 a v8. decided to just keep it white as i CBF going hard out on body owrk incase i stack it or something, good thing ive got like 3 sets of everthing! Would love it to look like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr dori Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Been at it this weekend, motor and box became 1, set up clutch with 1g fork and slave cly, 1g release bearing required a 5mm spacer to have the fork in right place. Motor now sits on factory 5mge mounts and member, Not 100% on what diff to run, factory us a 3.7 lsd, was thinking my wheels and tyres will be smaller than factory so not to sure, might throw a 4.1 locked in there and see how that goes. Also cheers to WAZ in the pic he helped me do some rust work arond the rear windows, also around boot has abit, funny how much bog you find when you start looking!! Goto be ready for the nov trackdaY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
