Hey guys started a mission of a project. Bought this 4 door Ghia for 700 and busted bottom end sr20det for 250. So far I have stripped both engine and car and started cutting out all the rust in the body. I have decided to go a 4 link rear suspension with coilovers and watts linkage, engine mounts welded onto chassis rail, there is a thread on driftworks where a guy did that and it looked so much simpler than modifying the crossmember. Also am going to upgrade rear brakes to discs and an LSD diff (although not sure whether to go a borg warner, hilux, Ford 9" or just add lsd to english axle diff). RB25 box and twin plate clutch behind the sr20 as hopefully going to make close to 400hp from the sr.
Engine so far has SRP 86.5 Forged pistons, Forged Manley H rods, 272 Tomei Cams in/ex, BC Valve springs. That's so far. when I get some more spare cash I will have the crank from underdrive to clutch pressure plate balanced and block assembled, probably by Mendhams, 510POM feel free to PM me some suggestions (are you still in QLD?). Then I will start on the head. I will be making my own custom intake plennum, will look similar to the JUN intake plennum. 75mm TB will go on.
Also will be modifying an S15 dash and centre console to fit in and custom door cards. modified RS2000 nosecone but keeping that a secret until it bolts on :P.
Thats about it so far. Will post pics when I can. Any HELPFUL suggestions from guys that have done it or links to places I can get stuff would be awesome and greatly appreciated, as this is my first full build.
