looking nice hIGGI

might be putting some bucket seats and a smaller steering wheel in my FB soon, I'm getting fed up of bashing my head on the roof and catching my legs on the wheel !

Cool

Okay, here's my contribution to the list. Not sure if I will ever get this off the ground but if I ever get the chance I'd like to build a 13B GTP car that is street legal:-)

Here is my design so far:

looking good, you might want to think about beefing up the roll over bars a bit though

OK finally bit the bullet and my car is in the bodyshop waiting for its turn to be sorted not going to see it for a month or so though

the drive down was interesting with no interior, no front nose panels and two 3" x 2" holes in the inner arches and it was raining

Mental note - I need to change the front end bushes when I upgrade my suspension ... she handles like a b1tch in the wet + my secondaries are sticking on the nikki because I havn't driven her for a while (are everyone elses 7's hungry for attention and misbehave if they think they've been neglected?)

The seat install will continue on the spares car so they can be bolted in ( I hope anyway) when she returns

might have a glass sunroof to slot back in too, ready for spring ( and no doubt more rain!)

no i didn't
smily because it was a emotional move to look @ the 3 but the chassis was too rotten...

my project will be a SA22 with either:
- a 12A in it (don't know turbo'ed)
- a 13B NA in it
- a 13B TII in it
- and of course a Mariah bodykit

either way, i love the carb setups from racing beat but a 13B TII in it with 13B tranny is nice too.
i'm going for a SA22C because of the emissions here
SA22C is =< 4.5 CO
FB is =< 0.5 (i believe)
so a speedy 1st gen is only possible in a SA22C.

one big problem: Euro's

just finished my 'mini' project for today .... built my folks a budget pc out of my old bits + some select baragains from the internet so they can get up to the minimum spec to run broadband (woo!)

I now remember why I hate building pc's ! driver instalation and configuring stuff... what a ball ache!

p.s anyone considering buying an ASUS motherboard, don't bother get an ABIT one, they are a dream to set up compared with this damn thing .... oh well its working now <fingers crossed>
