[Skid_KE70]

Changed Plans, picked up an SR20 for this, spent a few hours on it over the weekend and have it all mounted, just waiting on a loom and AFM

here are a couple of pics on what we have done so far
i have fitted rocker arm stoppers and high volume sump to keep the engine a little safer

Still uses the mx73 crossmember, the sump fits realy well around it.

[Skid_KE70]

Was also planning on making some NCRAS that suit the mx73 strut to ae86 ps arms.. just a thought rather than cut and shut LCA and steering arm

[marvis]

^ yuck NRCA's FTL.

T3 do a steering arm etc for this, but you could get a ps arm from like ra65 etc rca;s from AJPS.


THIS IS AWESOME BTW. looking heaps good!!!111111111

[Jdm-Mcc]

Looks straight out of japan man :)

[Matt-AE86]

One word. Awesome.

[bigm]

hehe,copycat :P If you have any questions ask away :)

What steering rack are you using?

SR Box? How is the shifterhole? bit further back?

plans for turbo? Mods?

[Skid_KE70]

Shifter is a little further back, ill just make the hole bigger, im just running the standard steering rack at the moment without power steering.,.. what rack should i put in there, s12? i dont want ps

just going to keep the engine stock for now... now real plans, i just put the sr in because the 5me had no oil pressure

[coFF33]

nice MX73
its been done well.
i like this.

[bigm]

Im running a ke70 rack that is put in dodgily... lol


Ill try find the guide on how to convert your PS to manual rack, will probably be the best option.

[Skid_KE70]

oh, does that give you more lock?

[bigm]

the ke70 rack? no idea.

if i had my time over again i would use power steerl rack converted. wish i didnt throw it away
