thought i would let people in what's going on with my rs2000 which i bought back in dec 08. Things have been progressing very slow with this project as wife ,KIDS ,work and fixing the house up kinda limits the funds. So far all i have managed to do is rub her back and get her in primer then in july last year i got round to getting some big brakes on it consisting of 280mm discs alround with 4-pot s5 rx7 callipers on front and single piston rx7 on the back.As of this week i have bought a complete low km import motor ,turbo ,5spd ,computer from a s14 silvia all for only $2850. Before it goes in its getting a new hd clutch ,lightened flywheel ,custom intake manifold ,s/s exhaust manifold ,s/s dump pipe. The car has been used for the last 8 yrs as a hillclimb car in vic so some of you guys might know the car. It already has all the fuel set up in the boot ,lsd motorsport diff ,panard rod ,adj strut tops, etc. Hope you like ,will post pics once i can fique out how to shrink the size of pic

Ok I couldn't figue out how to resize the other pics but heres a few from the shed

thats the exhaust manifold, it will look a bit better than that before it goes on.


some braided lines for the turbo.
Should have some more bits coming next week

Thanks for the offer juiceman, sending some pics your way
cheers for the help.

how are you tieing down the spare wheel?

Thanks to juiceman here are some pics of when i first picked it up and one when it was out of the shed.
Stuart the spare will be have a small post bolted to the floor and a hub welded to the top to hold the spare in .







Some history of the car that i know of is that when it was in vic a guy called Don Ashton owned and raced it as a hillclimb car with original motor in it from about 2003 , it did get a pic in auto action last year with a little article about Don. He then sold it on to a guy here in Adelaide called Michael who worked at a tuning shop called Tillbrook's where he added a quad throttle bodie set-up on it and the compmotive wheels. Then in 08 i bought it minus the motor and front brakes.Smaka bought the quaife gearbox off of me since i didn't need it in the conversion so i hope it was ok

eventually got the intake manifold today, so that is everything. i forgot to take pic of dump pipe and cluth. Now just have to get the computer pulled to bits and sorted then its ready to be dropped in. Will post more pics when something happens.

Its been a long time but she eventually left today for work to begin. Ipicked up a crossmember of 510pom a while ago does anyone have problems with bump steer with the lowered steering rack? the guy fitting it in just asked the question. pictures to follow soon i hope.

So tke intercooler arrived and work has started.new lower section of firewall and front clip on.pictures are to big again and i dont know how to shrink them
