Just heard from the previous owner/s of my car in my build thread, it sounds like this may be a complete GX import motor
I don't know too much about the GX stuff but seems to be sort after.

Tail shaft is too short for the 120Y BW diff in there, the pcd of the flange doesn't fit the diff anyway.
I don't know whether I should chuck the H190 I got in now as I'll have to get the tailshaft done again when I do, but then i'll have to sort a hydraulic hand brake out and probably should get the diff freshened up with new seals etc and the calipers rebuilt which will delay and add costs.

The tunnel is tight, there's two places where there's about 10mm clearence, we'll see what happens when it runs I guess.

The box xmember, I decided to use square bar and sandwich plate bolted it to the floor with a 10mm urethane bush to limit movement. If it doesn't work I'll do your idea of welding the 180B mounts to the floor.

Exhaust, not sure, I'm thinking 2.5 inch with two mufflers

Oh, the coil over conversion, I chopped 75mm off the strut,
I cut the strut top off 50mm down, then took the 75mm off what was left. Then weld the 50mm top threaded part back on, this way the coilover collar goes over the weld join to add strength. I then used a 25mm spacer inside the strut as the Mk1 golf Pedders inserts are 100mm shorter than stock.
This is all with 120Y struts (45mm type)as I used the Kev Rowley CA18 250mm brake adapter.
I also used the otomoto 45mm coilover kit with the 4kg springs.
The ride quality is perfect, not harsh but still handles and turns in awesome mated to the otomoto universal camber plates. I've got the height set just above halfway on the threaded collar, it could come down another 40mm odd before the spring seat would start to get close to the tyre.
I also had made 32mm bump steer plates to get the stock angle back on the lower control arms, makes a big difference I reckon.

Jakesunny, I'm selling the A14, is it a GX import motor?
Are you able to fill us in on anymore specs or history on the motor?

Cheers

link to video on youtube, hopefully this works

G'day, its just a mild street cam, a tigh brand ( not sure on that spelling )
So it's pretty much stock just rebuilt, and just has standard exhaust manifold.
Cheers

wheels are Sportmax 15x8 0 offset, they could fit with pumped guards but easy with flares. Offset is perfect all round.

G'day Matt, my mate offered to help with the L18 install last week, it went in pretty well, we needed to massage the tunnel a bit, it is a tight fit but should be fine.

Just got to sort out the clutch set up, wiring, tail shaft, fuel system, mount radiator / hoses and exhaust.

I'll tackle one job at a time

G'day, thought some of you may be interested in my build
Since buying it I've done;
installed PIGDOG's old L18 stroker setup with stumpy box
Coil over conversion at the front with Mk1 Golf inserts
Camber plates
CA18 brake conversion
All new bushes etc
Roll cage and race seats
JTS rear springs
15x8's with Kuhmo semis
Flares
H190 4.6 diff to go in still

I'm going for a track style street car, hope you like
My old A14 set up is for sale too. Cheers
