well as i always seem to get bored and take my cars apart i have bought a rps13 so i dont take the ps13 apart lol so i get a project car. it needs a good amount of work but its going to keep me busy over the winter. its more or less a stage2 ca just with a T25G needs welding in all the normal places. plan for this car is to save me putting the ps13 into the wall at buxton or wheels so building this instead get back into drifting learn it all over again and have some fun while building a "nice" car lol so bought it from a mate who had it just sitting around jez stage 2 ecu fmic filter T25g cat back exhaurst walbro quickshift cut front springs jic coilovers on the rear 180 rear bumper and my wangonmaker kit last one built i had one on my other rps13 its just test fitted but you get the picture got to work clearing the million parts i dont need or want from it if anybody see's anything they need give me a message once cleared out the inside isnt as bad as i thought most of the weldings been done to go on is my spare 2way and rear arms modded front subframe z32 brakes and rear r32 brakes will need new coilovers and alot of other bits so will update as i go. shall be rocking my ssr andrew d alloys 12j all round i have another pair of 12s on the way over from japan.
Got this running yesterday on a make shift petrol tank. Tappets are alittle loud but the mighty ca seems to be ok. Shall make a start on doing the petrol lines and brake lines on my week off in jan and hopefully have a mig welder nextweek to learn to weld.
you not bothering with facebook kid what welder you getting gas or no gas? anyway practice practice and more practice and the plate away, with a few little burns along the way to keep you happy. look forward to some updates keep us posted tony. also what make exhaust mani is that.
Facebook does my head in kidda lol. none gas I think not to sure whats best to be honest. and no idea what the mani is wont be using it though.
I cleared my facebook out the other day, and spotted you were no longer on there! Good luck with it! Is 12J really necessary on the front?
no id probably be a lifestyler and use the 12s while its on the road then have my 10j wheel for drifting on. To be honest they may not even fit under there anyway lol.
Done alittle looks like i have a sr20 sorted for this and new coilovers for the fronts still struggling to find a hatch if anybody knows of one.
well the hard works starting. stripping it down to a bare shell where is off to get sandblasted welded and caged then abit of primer the engine from my ps13 is going in it ive already bought loom too
Well the stripping carrys on engine box fmic tank and so on off and out all 90% of the interior out including dash just odds and sods and wiring to remove before windows and then off for blasting
That's gunna be some good welding sessions, gas mig all the way every day of the week mate. And one with more than 2 settings! Spend more and you'll be better off. Especially with adjustment in the machine especially for welding old jap metal lol
Well had alittle drive around the country picking up body. started mockinging up my sil80. bought nismo bumper standard wings then aftermarket wings tried my ssrs as i want 12j all round also bought some kouki lights too from japan
