    Default B571 HTV c20let drag project

    Hi chaps bored so thought i would start a build thread. Right a lot of you may know this car as per John H and Adam owning it. Anyway Adam last used it in 2010 iirc and parked it up and it has sat on his moms drive ever since. So we decided on a price and i went and picked it up.
    The car was already c20xe converted and prepped for a track day...cage coilovers etc etc. Have had some issues already though Mostly due to it being stood for a few years but since im a "drag boi" decided i didn't fancy building another V6 so decided on the Turbo route. So started collecting some bits for the conversion, sorted a rebuilt C20LET engine off Steveboyslim on Migweb, universal front mount, LMF big block hubs, Griffin Autosport equal length shafts,Magnex exhaust, TX autosport 2.25 boost pipe kit and x2 reducers for tophat and turbo. So i have since fitted the engine shafts hubs etc etc new brake pads cleaned and greased all rear bearings,shoes,drums. Fitted a new in tank MPI pump as the original one died. I have also just changed the full car loom as wanted to start a fresh with wiring etc. Modified the exhaust downpipe and the front panel for the intercooler but tbh it looks **** but it will do for now, im looking into replacing the crossmember as its abit crusty over winter!

    Anyway it just needs the dash putting back in now and then wiring up and its good to go!

    Start to finish where im at

    Nice to see it being loved again. Even been on my drive way.. when Adam broke the gear linkage.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
