C20LET rear engined sr

[jonn]

good work, i will have to drop out the subframe on my one to get the engine and box out, room can get tight!

[darcy]

right ive sorted a throttle cable out, just trying to find a cable change linkage long enough, as most mid engined cars are 2 seaters then ill look into adapting it abd a hydraulic clutch.
rollcage is in, ive cut the rear section out so the bars can be rewelded at a different angle to pick up on the rear strut tops.

my wide arch protec kit came on fri. must be honest im not impressed with the quality. the rear 1/4s are pretty good but the wings are gash. panel fit to the door is workable but there is no section under the bumper so the bumper has nothing to bolt to on the sides, also the leading edge's profile is a mile out where the indicator should be. my mate who does the carbon is willing to make me a kit though so if a nasty phone call to protec on monday doesnt get me some discount on perspex for it, they'll be having it back.
anyway i had a play with different wheels....







i thought the comps were going to look awesome but i was a bit disappointed when i got them on, i think the curve on the spokes doesnt suit the aggressive look of the arches. think the original rims that came with the car get my vote. ill prob go a bright colour for the rims and replicate it through the car, the shells going black, i fancy a lairy orange set of rims and matching cage/rocker cover etc, or do the complete interior a matching colour to the rims. i dont know, colour is a mile off yet but i can dream, cheers

Arches look good, but see what you mean about the fronts, the indicator lump is laughable.

[darcy]

yep. i must admit i still prefer the mk1 front and the wings may be designed for mk1 but the pics on the ebay listing are of a mk2 so thats gonna be my argument tomorrow, plus the fact that there is nothing below the bumper for the bumper to bolt to.. watch this space

[Nobby]

looks ace on mos imo

Theres a reason for that. Your also forgetting this kit was never really designed with road cars in mind, even the wide archs I make an sell are same behind the bumper.



Good luck trying to get a refund on it though you'll need it

Looks to be an interesting project, best of luck with it mate

[darcy]

cheers guys. well protec are willing to give me a small refund, but im now wondering if the wings would adapt to mk1 easier, but ive just sorted a few sets of mk2 lights to make a good set, and a gsi bumper. so im on the lookout for mk1 bumpers, grill, lights etc. ive got a celica vvti gearstick n cables on the way so we'll see if they are adaptable

mike those wings look awesome, what do you sell them for? cheers
