Welcome to the site :thumb:

we already have a very nice Cosworth on here and you are most welcome!! Got any more details about the car? spec/usage etc?

There are plenty of Skyline and Evo owners on here already if you want any feedback without the usual bollocks

Hi Stuart.......

Rough Spec:

Fully adjustable suspension throughout including custom made "group A" style rear beam,adjustable TCA`s,Eccentric top mounts,compression struts,coilover shox,custom made "WRC" style bladed anti roll bars,all rose jointed throughout.....
330 mm "AP Racing" 4 pot fronts and 305mm rear brakes,Fairly mild engine spec running bluprinted YB with 7.8:1 CR with all the usual goodies inc WRC loom and coilpacks,Custom breather system,T34 turbo,850cc injectors etc etc.....Hoping to be about 380-390 Bhp.........

Car will be used mainly as a trackday car and occasional toy,i have built it as a 2wd car also but they aren`t the ideal drift car even though i wouldn`t mind giving it a try...

Will post some pics of the build etc soon......

2wd?? You've lost me.....(mechanical knowledge not a strong point, ask Gary) I thought these were all 4wd?

Cheers matey...

Will be sorting full membership soon so will put up full spec.....Could have bought a late R34 for what the bloody thing has cost....

Haha,
I know I'm thick but it was the conversion that was the problem, not that 2wd meant two wheel drive!!

Showing my ignorance, I didn't know that you could change the drivetrains that easily? If you wouldn't mind would you post something in either the project bit or the tech section? I for one would be really interested in hearing more about this :thumb:
