[iain1970]

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.

[goldstar0011]

Try contacting Kristian, he lives Leigh way but might visit cause he's been looking into this loads

[Raceworx]

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

sooooo close!!!

[59 bhp is more than enough]

i know the shear stupidity of me askin this with all the other lots of interesting work that you have carried out but a) where did you get the splitter from and b) where did you get the black grille from as i have a gawdy chrome one and want to change. that is some real nce work by the way and i realy cant wait to see how it goes.

[59 bhp is more than enough]

oh and how did you do the front lights

[micra man]

Great stuff mate. She's a beast!!!

[Raceworx]

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.

[Titch]

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

[Ed]

Ill be the first to see you at Santa Pod if you dare

Where is he based?? Is this the one from outside Cumbernauld?

[nissanmansco]

davey lives outside falkirk and Outrun where its getting done is in Longcroft not far from cumbernauld!

[Raceworx]

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

[tommo]

woooooooooooopoooooooooooooooopoooooooooooooopoooo ooooooooooop

tommo

[Ed]

Ill go on a track! That is after I have FMIC anyway.

[Davey C]

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

[Alienfish360]

Are there any rules and regs regarding your vehicle and person when on a track day?

[Ed]

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.

Ed

[James]

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

Ditto, but I wanna get lowered first hehe

[Raceworx]

track days are for eerybody dont need a fast car to go on the track as long as you have fun!!

[Dave Bull]

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!

[Raceworx]

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..

[Alienfish360]

lol no problem man :-

A) the splitter is a laguna splitter of a renalt laguna i saw in the scrapyard £20

How did you fit this? Any modifications required on fitting?

[tommo]

not a lot too it really just a drill and some bolts and a bit of patience

[Raceworx]
