Project Spirit: 4d to coupe! i want my car back already!
Hi to all, lurking about here for a while, thought i'd share my current/actual project with you all.
After a major change of direction with my "project" i canned the whole FWD track car build (ae92 hatch with full built engine) and decided to head down the RWD path.
It took me pretty much one night to fully convince myself that i wanted a KE70 or AE71, and since the AE71 was gonna cut some* time out of the build i started looking for one.
The result was a 1984 ae71 spirit, managed to keep rego, and get a rwc so i can keep the thing registered whilst the build takes place, removing the need for a rwc once its back up and running.
In the meantime, whilst i had the engine built and the spirit sitting in the yard, i ended up dropping it in my daily at the time (currently still is) and did the run in with the FWD chassis while i accumulate parts/funds for the E7.
Spirit, bro's 13b rx4, and the daily*:
4agte - t58 ARP everything, bigport yo!:

Also should add, i have done everything from rebuilding the engine to wiring and tuning the engine.
she is currently sitting on 14ish psi of boost and is hitting a wall due to fuel, when it goes into the spirit, ill have a bosch 044 and a 140lpm lift pump along with a new surge tank ill make up when the time comes.
Pics from the FS thread when i bought it:
Stay posted, as soon as i have mah shit sorted ill be swapping the old tired 4ac out and dumping this pup in her.

niceeeee, will be a pretty tough little thing when its done... get alot of lag? goodluck with it buddy
4500rpm i see abouts 5psi, then its all "stayinthislanemotherfucker" FWD torque steering shit.. i hate it its a fucking death trap.
Cheers dudes
Could quite easily say a FWD dump pipe is a cunt of a job in fabrication terms:
The intake was easy apart from the chassis rail mod to fit the 4" turbo intake in there

Almost contemplating keeping the FWD deathtrap on the road...
stripped down the spare GZE block today, very good condition, ae92 GZE rods (beefy cunts) and ae92 slugs in V good condish, so i might just save up n build this motor up to spec + bigger turbo than the FWDdeathtrap
???
profit
Do it. That would be mad

Yeah haha fuck it, ill build a separate motor i think...
I've been going through this thinking stage where i couldn't make up my mind with what i wanna do.. but now im pretty sure i know what i want
Im not a hoon by any means.. and she's pretty stealthy so i don't have trouble with cops at all.. though on the odd occasion where im not in a good mood and need some cheering up, shitbox commis (even the new ve shitboxes too) always prevail for teh lulz..
