    on a side note, that picture if the 1.4 engine, what's wrong with that shell that you wanted the engine out of it?
    Thats the 1600 out of my convertible buddy but if im using a turbo I will leave that engine in there and make another one

    Cool, I sooooooo want that fannymould
    I'm ( along with many others on here ) taken with the idea of a 1.6 turbo, I just wonder if there would be enough interest to maybe get a group buy for low comp pistons rather than using a spacer plate?

    did you get the engine mount out of that shell before you dad scrapped it?

    I didnt, but ive got a never used front end of a nova in the yard so im going to use that to replace the engine mount. well as for low comp pistons i was thinking about trying to find some, first build will be with the spacer as i already have one but i would be interested in some as i will be buying some steel rods soon.

    Done a bit more today, tidied up the loom a little bit, de cluttered the car and began putting the loom somewhere near where it should be, started at the back and fed the wiring up to both rear lights and number plate light. got a couple of spade connectors to go somewhere not sure where yet they are red and blue and brown which i thought should be fuel pump but theyre too far back :S anyway...

    Some pics of the loom sort of in making progress



    Need to sort the seal out where the loom goes into the engine bay. but its though there, need to either find a mk2 plug and loom for the wipers of nick the mk1 motor off my old nova .



    I then had a quick look to see where everything will go near the fuse box, Im at the stage where i need the dash in to start connecting things.



    Looks a bit of a mess but its getting there slowly plans for tomorrow are to remove the rear beam and swap it with the one out of my other nova which has new wheel cylinders and brake shoes... should be a game

    Just been browsing ebay for turbo bits, need to source an elbow for my t25, tried a r5gtt one and the bolt holes didnt line up so that was an epic fail , I think a mid 90s 200sx one will fit, I also need a oil return fitting but all the ones on ebay are in japan... :S
