wide arched gt kitted rb26 s13

well ive been building this car for nearly 7 months now and its nearly finished. ive done a project thread on sxoc but thought you guys might like a look.

i bought a r32 with full gtr running gear.





used it for a few months then got bored. s13's are my cup of tea. ive had a few now and cant keep away from them.

my last one



i decided to brake it onto a s13.

i bought this standard car




ordered a mount kit from syko performance and got to work





garrett gt35r rollerbearing turbo and tube manifold



sump was modified



trial fit



stitch welded the bay



ordered my rear quarters from SRB POWER front arches and bonnet from EP RACING



next was the wheel choice. i managed to find a set i liked

11.5 x 18 front 265 35 18
13 x 18 rears 315 35 18 at a push

kranze weds
