wow i love it, i started RWD converting a caddy last year but it kinda stopped due to funds. definitely puts a new spin on the conversion though, hmmmmmm

i dont know the difference im afraid but the wheels were black that were on it and it was white.it.was a young guy driving it i saw him by the toll bridge in bathampton a few days ago. was so low every time he hit a bump i could hear it bottoming out fair play to him he clearly doesnt do things by half!!!

[austinpowers]

body is pretty much all done now the bottom end of the motor is built up just bought a apex alloy rad, jun lightened and balanced flywheel, big front mount, braided hoses, and tyres just bought some nankangs for the moment might get some better ones for the front at a later date...

[RichP]

Oh man nice one. I built a 4 door mk1 4x4 cosworth years back. Memories

[austinpowers]

im in the market for a t28 if any one has a good one local to me

[austinpowers]

just making up the engine mounts with a spare block and some spacers to lower the front subframe as its to high at the mo

[M.D.]

How come it's high. Surely if it's on the stock s13 chassis then it's perfect position??

Be very careful of lowering the subframe but not the lower ball joints or struts as you will end up with awful bump steer otherwise.

If it's because you have mounted the chassis too high in the caddy body you should be ok as long as you dont go too low with the suspension.

[austinpowers]

its only about 15mm the s13 chassis went in in 3 sections and must have been slightly out i will space it all out toghter subframe anti roll bar and arms so it drives right, i cant go up with the gearbox as it will hit the bulkhead
