Engine:
Current: ca20de
Awaiting to be dropped in: ca18det
Exhaust:
Current: Extractors w/3" straight thru to rear muffler and cannon
Future: Unknown yet
Suspension:
Current: Cut front springs in front, rear has springs with no struts :S
Future: Most likely coilovers all round
Wheels:
Current: Some shitty pulsar/pintara wheels on front, old school dish on rear
Future: Find a set of matching rims for front as whats on rear
Modifications:
Currently stripped down to shell and engine, will soon be stripped to metal and resprayed, color unknown but possibly a two tone to suit body then the ca18det dropped in with a small t28, 3" exhaust, coilovers all round, full custom interior and whatever else comes along.
Stereo Audio / Visual:
Basic headunit, 6" in front and 6x9 in rear, dont want the extra weight of subs and amps...
Estimated Power:
Not fussed really aslong as i one day have it on the road
Car was purchased about 2 weeks ago off a young guy, it has pretty much had the guts flogged out of it and theres a massive hole in the block. Wiring in it is hideous! Also rear suspension is dodgy with no shocks in rear, just the cut springs sitting there. Oh and the car was resprayed in blue with pressure pack due to the 'white' car having a bad reputation with cops apparently....

Hope you didn't pay to much for it. Looks like it needs abit of money spent on it, although these are pretty cool when done right, don't see them around much anymore either.
Well for what i paid for the lot i was pretty much paying for the engine which was still strapped to pallet with about 100,000km on it. The car is what i wanted and that was pretty much given to me with the engine along with a few other bits and pieces.
QUOTE (SCR-NON @ Mar 6 2011, 08:44 PM)i had one that come with everything except motor & ECU & then sold it all for $150 lol i paid $500 just felt like too much of a old school car too me
Old school isnt a bad thing
. Once shes got a fresh paint job, some dish rims, and a ca18det running she'll be a head turner.
QUOTE (mikey85 @ Mar 6 2011, 08:49 PM)Hey man, i've got one with a ca18det in it and a mates got a sr20det in his. And his is 3x the car that mine is. If you need any parts like body panels and stuff let me know cause I have wrecked a Whole car. Cheers man.
Thanks mate, probably bit hard being at other ends of the country but cheers for the offer.
QUOTE (TwinCam16 @ Mar 6 2011, 09:33 PM)Agreed.
Do it right and put the SR in.
Much rather have a ca18 in it, personal preference really.
QUOTE (vectorazz @ Mar 6 2011, 11:12 PM)looks like a load of work
A load of work but thats what im aiming for. Waited years to move out of my old mans place and start my own project that i can work on from ground up, was hard at his place due to not enough space (had monaros taking up garage space) and putting up with his banter about how i waste money on cars.
QUOTE (RollinLow @ Mar 7 2011, 07:19 PM)did you get this off a guy in hobart? think i had this in at work some time agoSure did! Possibly getting a service or gearbox work done? Poor cars had a hard life, no wonder the block has a big hole!
QUOTE (G-uni7 @ Mar 8 2011, 01:54 AM)needs alot of work
Sure does and im prepared to do it

if all you want was attention could have brought a excel and put some neons and a sub woofer in it..... i rather cars that dont turn heads.
does look rough at the moment, but not a lot of them about. id buy one if one came up cheap for something different to play with. i wonder how much work it would be to put a s13 rear end in one.... 9th March 2011 - 01:06 AM
