mate why did you use s14 automatic diff??

Evilchap
09-04-2008, 23:24
S14a auto diff is really short, faster acceleration ;)

MarcRRN
10-04-2008, 07:32
spot on and also i shouldnt of had the same beating that a manual would

-***JOKER***-
10-04-2008, 10:22
i guess it is shorter on the final gear...

MarcRRN
10-04-2008, 10:54
i got told it is the same ratio as the s13 cos a manual s14 is different

but even better my new turbo has just arrived:):):):)

i will put picks up later

MarcRRN
12-04-2008, 08:43

Nice build matey... looking good so far. :)

You're using the THS rod's for it too... which is something id been considering, do you know many folk who've used these?
Just wondering if theyre up to their claims. :)

Look forward to seeing the finished result, the kit looks pretty nice too, havent seen the rear bumper before... :thumbs: :sxoc:

Edit - Also, just noticed where you live! :thumbs:... is there many 200's over there... Ive got the only ones on Arran, which is nice. lol

i actually get alot of the parts off ebay ie. tien springs, wossner pistons ths conrods, front and rear fenders,strut braces, oil cooler.

the bushes and anti roll bars came from apex and driftworks, the anti roll bars were a group buy.

i have also put an order for a carbon tailgate from srb.

and the car will be getting a lovely new lick of paint when im happy with the bodywork.

diamondsink
21-06-2008, 15:24
welds look good but make sure you clean all the rust off or you'll be back were you started in a year or so.

MarcRRN
21-06-2008, 21:09
yeh i know, that was welded a while back, need to clean it up and finish it.

hks turbo timer is almost fitted and then its onto wiring my s2000 starter button:D
next on the interior list is to cut the holes in my rear panels for the cage and fit it, and then to get a price of my friend for his lovely set of red sparco's :nod:.
for the exterior i need to chop the offside arch and then fit the new rear quarter panels.
i also got a new set of rear lights, these ones.

nice work mate, those rear arches are uber wide,

whats the little ally plate by the inner rear edge of the back wheels for, rivveted to the inner arch lip,

the arches are really wide so now i have to find wide wheels to go with them... was thinking of rota GTR's 17x9.5 et12

its not an ally plate that was on the car its a sheet of rubber, think its to try and stop crap hitting the exhaust from the wheel.

Sweet as mate... gonna look top notch! :)

Hard to tell, but the rear bumper just looks like it needs a touch of 'adjustment' to get it to sit dead-centre of the rear of the car... really suits it tho, a pretty different rear IMO. :)

Hope you're gonna use both those exhaust cutouts tho... or hide the rhs one. ;)

really looking good tho mate... keep up the good work. :)

Nize.

well the exhaust i have only uses the left, i woul like two but it means a custom exhaust.
but on a good note the tow eye sits there, so i could get the wee red tow sticker??

good project you have there!! comng along nice.

Yeah mate, not a bad idea... if you tarted up the towing eye and made a feature of it, it'd look pretty cool. :)

well managed to do some work today.

i made a battery tray, its simple but does the job.

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/hondabus/100_6161.jpg

and started cutting the rear panels for the cage.

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/hondabus/100_6164.jpg

and i have also decided to change the bodykit, as i will have to cut my new front fenders just for the front bumper, and i dont want to do that.

ok been without internet for a bit but work has carried on.
i have done the welding that was needed under the bonnet and painted it, it looked the titties but then i started undersealing, when i was done i stood up and remembered i never masked or covered any holes and the result was black shite speceled over my lovely white paint.

i got myself some apex brake hoses the other day and finally got some decent weather and got them fitted today plus replaced all the brake lines along with the z32 BMC, but on the down side the batteries gave up on the camera so no pics yet.

i am trying to figure out ways to earn more money so i can speed this thing along, so any ideas you guys have let me know.
