How it all started away back
How it is now
hey im quite new to the forum and just thought id do a quick build thread of what iv done so far. all the work has been done by me and my friends at my work and has been done over the last year and a half
hope yous enjoy reading this thread
started of as a 1.4 ej9 now has the b16a2 from a jordan that was rotten away (rip)
got a cheep set of wheels just to getaway from the stieelies that were on it and i have just never got round to replacing them. nowq got 2 rainsport 3s on the front and prada spec2s on the back as the woren pradas were terifing in the wet!
swaped the front brakes for the mgzs 180 and the rear drums for the ek4 set up. 282mm on the front/240 on the rear. drilled and groved disks with mintex pads all round for now.
the suspention isnt great just ebay special pro sport coilovers they do fine for now. new balljoints track rods +ends and bushes on the front. the rears arms for the brake swap came with lca's and camber arms that were quite new. the main bush on the rears got replaced to.
the b16a2 was all cleaned and new timing belt + tentioner and water pump was all fitted. painted the block and head black ant the rocker cover green . when the engine went it the dash loom had to be changed thats where most of the time went over the weekend went out my first run in it at half 5 in the morning after working through the night
first proper day out to get a good drive a grouse flew out and smashed the windscreen at about 80 on the backroads
had the sparco r333 in before the engine but i now want a change so i have one rred recaro in for now
loads of pics still to add
new b16a2 there ready to turbo
