yes yes another sr20

hello all,

not been an almera owner for long, bought a standard gti in berwick upon tweed from a farmer that needed alot of tlc and tax and mot. But I got it for a bargain so I'm not complaining plus I always wanted a pulsar vzr so this was the next best thing :lol:

Not got pics of the full car yet cause of the shameful state and rust thats on it compared to some of the sweet motors on here but will be up soon. But in the mean time heres some pics of the story so far and some bolt-ons I've purchased for it.

currently fitting a japspeed full stainless manifold and janspeed cat back system thats why the manifld is off but I made the unfortunate mistake of snapping a stud inside the block:wall: so its delayed me somewhat cause I dont have alot of spare time.

The front arches are also mega rusty, how easy are they to swap over for new ones?

anyway cheers for looking i'll keep the pics coming as the saga continues.
 
yeah cheers mate ... should have most of the work done on Saturday so I'll get some pictures up then. (although the front wings will prob be a different colour as I'm changing them over for newer ones ... need to save for a respray)
 
Welcome to AOC, thank god you didnt scrap it, will look forward to seeing some pics of the whole car :D
 
Hey guys ... had a CRAP weekend ... I HATE exhausts :roll:

Nah I had a good weekend but the exhaust was a nightmare, couldnt get that stud thats snapped inside the engine out then I couldnt get the stupid CAT separated cause the pins were rusted over. So I took a grinder to it and cut through the old gasket where the cat/exhaust meet but the pins are still stuck in the other side of the CAT ... DAMN!! So I threw in the towel and phoned a local garage whos gonna pick it up and sort it for me.

Anyway made a few changes so heres an update.
