So i've been delt a bit of a blow!
We can't afford to have a mortgage, 2x car insurance and reg + the 120y reg and insurance so as of today my baby is going to be track only! whcih means RB20DET, locked diff, no interior (basically) full cage, and awesomness! Just thought i'd let you know lol
Take care
Ty

So you just used the s13 calipers and discs on the 120Y struts?

and that bias valve should be heaps of fun!!

He heh heh Lachie, I expect the SR20Y to raise a few hackles at the registry but I'll see who I get. Last time I had no probs... but it was the HX. The dude was REAL helpful!!

I've got s13 discs and single spot calipers off the sr20det model. Its more than enough to stop her, also going to run standard R31 discs and calipers at the rear. i'm gonna buy a wilwood brake bias valve so i can adjust everything, (Line Lockers lol)

Good luck man, you'll need it haha! They're so unhelpful answering questions.

Excellent man, that's exactly what I want to do, I haven't talked to any engineers yet but I'm goin in to the ACT government next week to get the a14 ticked off and I'll be askin sh&t loads of qns about SR20DET then!!

What are you running up front in the stopping department?

well i'm actually going to go sr20det! I should be able to get it all engineered fine. I know an engineer who said he would, plus according to the rules its legal, The curb weight x2.5 or 2 for turbo, brings the capacity to about 2.1 litres. So hopefully all going well!

Nice 120Y,
Mine had rust in exact same spots, just more of it!!

I'm gonna be doin an SR into 120Y soon.
Was legal turbo the main reason ur goin CA?

Cheers, Jon

Here are some more pics, little bit of progress, definitely going SR20DET. I've stripped the entire car down to just about nothing and i've started ripping out the tar on the floor pan, it revealed a couple of spots of rust but nothing major. I'm gonna start fixing the rust soon and do some more panel work, i got a pedal box from "Mr Datto" lol thanks chris. I'm going to paint her white i think, with nice oldschool lipped rims, or at least thats what i'm into right now ha ha ha.

I found a red back spider under the rear arch check it out, thats a 15mm spanner!!! nearly bit me but i got it first with some CRC degreaser lol
Anyway i'm having a tonne of fun but funds are lacking lol, any donations??? i need two front quarter panels??(don;t have to be donated lol)
Catch up soon, next month i believe.

Thanks for reading i hope to get some more done soon.
Ty



Thats not me lol thats my friend Matt, we're building her together and we're currently supercharging his MX-5

Thanks Ty

Haha,,
My 120y project looked just like yours the other week, dents in the back near the lights... Even had the rust cut out in the same places!

They all rust out in the back guards!

Have fun welding and sanding..
