dave, might see if i can modify existing arrangement to work. it will mean cutting and rewelding throttle linkage which im sure shouldnt be too hard.

I have been collecting some bits and pieces for my brakes. only front rotors and calipers at the moment.will leave drums on rear for now till i see how they go.

cheers kacko

cheers

Have the p4 headers as well, if you want a really wicked noise getting some p4 headers copied for your car would be the go! I can measure them up for you and stuff if you like, they are some wackily designed headers..

Sorry to read about your back problems - bending over engine bays doesn't help!! Get well soon and we look forward to posts as and when.

yeah 15 years of bending over jap crap when your 6ft 3 doesnt help any. will give me time to do a bit more planning with the build.Picked up two parts cars today so that helps.havent sighted them yet but i had to say yes for next to nothing.

cheers

Hi...i have recently bought a 33 1.7 16v as a project with the plan to enter in into sprint and circuit racing events. I'm not aware of any being raced here in Aus. I have heard that there are a few more on the tracks over in NZ.. Does anyone with race time in one of these have any tips for engine build, suspension and brakes? Thanks.
