My Gf and I are currently building a keto for her to drift, i thought I'd put up a project thread, we're building it and doing all the fabrication work between ourselves (it helps that both our dads own engineering companies :whistling: )
Big thanks to Ric at Upgarge/ProjectD for helping us out with lots of parts etc!
To start with it'll be NA, then going turbo when she's learnt a bit more
Specs (ish) -
Engine/driveline:
- Sr20de conversion
- Custom Engine/gearbox mounts
- Custom trans tunnel
- S13 turbo flywheel/HD clutch/gearbox
- Manual KE70 pedal box with Celica clutch master cylinder.
- Custom 1 piece tailshaft
- Welded standard diff (for now), then hoping to go R31 with disks when the stock diff breaks
- Custom Surge tank, random ford lifter pump, R33 turbo main pump
- S13 turbo radiator/thermo's
- Low mount turbo exhaust manifold (gonna use that with out a turbo for now, saves buying 2 manifolds)
- Custom straight through exhaust, with the biggest hot dog resonator I can get
Interior:
- Fixed back bucket seat
- 4 point harness
- Custom aluminium dash/switch panel
- Completely stripped, will be resprayed at some point
- Full weld in cage in the future
- Aluminium door skins and rear seat/parcel shelf panel thingo
Exterior
- Respray in something (GF wants red, or satin black or something)
- Random jap 14's
- Flared guards
- Fendor mirrors (If i can talk her into them)
- Possibly chrome bumpers or even ae86 front
Suspension:
- S13 front coilovers/hub/LCA's (I'm looking at buying a brand new pair of ISC's)
- S13 sr20det front brakes
- Ford rear springs (picked up some random king heavy duty ones from Pick and payless, gonna see if they fit), cut to height
- Lowered commodore KYB shocks
- Front and rear whiteline sway bars
So far we've got the engine in, the interior stripped out, and I'm starting on some of the custom stuff this week. We're just interested in getting it running first, then do some exterior work/cage etc later on.
