B-man Has Done It Again

[B-Man]

I know someone who would - twice.....

[evil_weevil]

What? Spend $35,000 on an engine, aftermarket parts, and tuning.... all in preparation for trackwork, and then sell the car a month later???

Who the hell would do something like that????

Morgs rings a bell

Status update:

FJ is all tuned and running well - pulls like a $20 whore.

2nd gear on the FJ box is farked - so putting in a RB25DET box

Got an H190 Detroit locker diff centre ($700) - it's off at the diff place now getting all the loadings and sh1t right

One piece tail shaft going in due to the new box

R31 read disc conversion is being done at the same time

Gauges are all mounted and look hot - Got Wideband 02 (AEM) also connected up to the Haltech for closed loop. Also Liquid filled Boost and Oil Pressure (autometer) - along with Autogauge stepper for Fuel Pressure, Water and Oil Temp - they are all mounted where the stereo used to be - The head unit has been relocated to the clove box

The buddy club wheels are off - just slightly wrong offset after the front S13 conversion - so I have a set of 16" Momos on now -with Falken semi slicks.

Modified an S13 front strut brace and put that on too.

What else - Oh yeah -all new wheel bearing on the rear.

Boy this car has had the lot done to it.

There are no original parts in the driveline at all - everything is new from the rear brakes, thru to diff, tailshaft, gearbox, and engine.

This thing is going to hammer ! !

I know I keep promising pics - and will have them up soon !

Cheers,

[evil_weevil]

Bahhaha, I have to see this thing in action

[B-Man]

Should be a fun little car when the fark it is finished :-)

Should get a little over 200kw at the wheels. On a 1000 kgs car that will be fun

With the new suspension all round , it should handle like a cart

With the R33 front brakes and the drums converted to R31 discs at the rear, it should pull up real good

With the locker differ, should go real well sideways and also get power down for drags.

A good all round car.

I started a thread a few year back - on best performance car under $10K, modified or un-modified. And because I just love and can't help myself tinkering, I set a bit of a goal and project to build a good cheap all rounder. So far the S12 project has been that goal. It will be real nice to test the fruit of people's labour and all this waiting for shit to happen.
