my rb project-beginning track car

Post by **bloodspread** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 5:55 pm

so I sold my daily driver 240 and bought my self a salvaged 240 with an rb20 and a silvia front end. then I bought another shell which was in better shape and swapped everything over

the car I first bought, It had damage to the driver side wheel well and door frame

we took some **** off and planned to pull the engine out of the front but then changed our minds and decided to remove everything with the cross member

here is the engine swapped over

I am planning to build this car so that I can begin to take the car out and learn to drive on a track I have already ordered some parts and will order more parts this Monday and am planning on having a harness bar made until I can afford a half cage or a full cage. I will update this thread as I get more and more done

thanks to the people over at Evil Genius Racing for supplying the shell and helping me with the swap http://www.evilgeniusracing.com/ I will hopefully have them make me a cage for the car

update. I bought some rebuilt front calipers, got new brake pads, Rotors, brake lines, lugs and lug nuts. a new battery, a gas tank, fuel lines. and I did the wiring ( but have to see what I did wrong ), since im on a budget I need to wait for my next paycheck to start messing with the back brakes

next I plan to buy some stuff for the rear brakes, and suspension parts but It might take a while

well, I made some progress, but its been slow because of school and work. sonow that my school schedule is more relaxed and I have no job, I decided to do some more work on the car. since I last posted I bought a gas tank for the car, bought some new front suspension components, Intercooler and bucket seat, drive shaft and a bunch of other stuff that I cant remember. here are some pictures and videos of my progress.

some more progress I finally got the car back to my apartment, the car is semi drivable but I still need an alignment and my exhaust welded on. and she should be drivable. progress is slow because I am a poor college student

my messy interior

If you really wanted to track this car, you should have kept a cheap stock engine and spent the money on suspension and tires.

yea, looking back on it now, I should have never sold my old car and just should have invested in some more suspension mods

I moved, so my car has a new home, and I replaced my explorer with a new dd. progress is slow but I now have a place to work on my car without having any apartment managers b****ing at me
