86 parts car to race car build
 
I picked up a 500 dollar parts car with intent of fixing it up into a fun car without much worry since the chassis was meant to be parted and scrapped. Came with a 5 lug conversion, engine that had over 100psi comp per side, pretty new struts, and a Koyo rad already installed.

Parts gathered:
Microsquirt
Innovate Wideband MTX-L
255LPH Fuel pump
1000cc EV14 injectors
spare S4 UIM
VSAero TKYO smooth Kit (I call it the knocket bunny)
various missing parts here and there that needed replacing.

Future plans:
ITB setup using S4 uim after modding it to allow such
mirrors
widebody install
rollcage
racing seats
More weight reduction
electric power steering conversion
refresh suspension
replace sunroof
replace awful wheels
Full exhaust system
Paint job


Already done:
Remove all bondo
clean up rats nest
delete leaky AC
Install Megasquirt and wideband O2
gut interior minus sound deading
install 255lph fuel pump
DIY 2 stroke OMP conversion.

Been working on cleaning up the body, I found that it hid a ton of bondo.

Weather is slowing me down on progress but will have updates when this rain stops.

So a little update.
Got most of the kit onto the car, fitment wasn't awful, but since I had damage on the passenger side it still needs tweaked.

The engine, I decided to take a different route. Got myself a deal on a 13b that was in a running SA with a cartech turbo kit on it, so swaping a blow through carbed setup into my FC.The SA went to a good home and will be getting a 12a put back in.

I may eventually swap over to EFI as I will be using microsquirt to control ignition and swapping the carbs out for an TB setup once budget allows.
