Great effort I love the interior and the air box is excellent... similar to Group A GTR's no doubt where you got your inspiration from? Are you mounting the radiator lower? (I may have missed that bit).

Race Radiators in Vic are making me a shorter cross flow radiator. When I was at superlap I took a tonne of pics of the GIO airbox, and pretty much copied it

The Fuel system is now together.

Nice, im curious though, why you mount the the surge tank at the back of the car? just thinking in the event you backed it in would be about the first thing to go..

Not sayin you would back it it or anything...

it's about parralel with the tank, so there is probably more chance of the 73l plastic tank splitting, than a 1.5l alloy tank.

Main reason I did it was I wanted it behind the axel, and that was just the neatest/easiest place to put it.

photos are way to big ben. ive gone over my download limit just loading one page. homo

So every one. Ben is searching for a oil drain pipe to suit his rb20 turbo. if you have one please let hime know. he has $100 waiting for one.

Got my turbo back from being highflowed.

I got a split dump from damo, as he has a new turbo setup coming. It was a modified batmbl pipe, so I am putting it back to standard. I welded in the split pipe from being a screamer, to plum back in

Now I just need to extend the main pipe, and put a flange on it.

Steave the roofer made 1/2 of the cover for the parcel shelf

Fuel rail, and 800cc injectors in.

Some say it took steve the roofer half a pack of ciggies to make that. hes still got 1/2 a parcel shelf. 2 doors and 2 rear quarter bits to go.

it is however far better than ben or i could do as ben cuts stuff out worse than a pre-schooler and i cbf'ed

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
