A bit's happened since last update. all 4 wheels are on
interior has been put back together
spacers are on
electric fan is in

and today

B200FT arrived.
oil and water lines have been planned
intercooler-less running system mapped out
The hardest part is gonna be sorting the exhaust out so it clears the brake booster
even then i can get the brake lines fabricated to bend differently.

Will keep thread updated as it happens

So she's finally gone for rust repairs. Once she's back will need some paint, then rubber, rear brakes etc and engine mounts then off for a wof! bit of a shame i can't drive for a year though but that's life.

i got all of that done for $300 around £150.
What remained of the sill on the left front was paper thin and had a very big hole in middle of. Quite simply I'm bloody stoked!

I keep meaning to ask two things...

Have you fitted the wide arches? Also was MR300 a personal plate or an awesome coincedence?

Holy **** I haven't updated this in ages. Anyway paint wise I'm going metallic heavy on the flake, which my uncle is gonna do. He's also taught me of an intercooler - less way to keep air colder than an intercooler, to the point he actually has to warm my cousins Cortina's air up a bit. 17x7s, 1" blocks in the back, brake upgrade, as I figured I'm going for around a 200-250% power increase, border of 300 horse. Or around there, just has to have more power than the 850R, as 250 odd horse in fun in a fwd with torque, eg put it in sport and second with a good kick up the are the lsd will simply destroy your front tires, but that power in a 360, would be quite fun I would think.

I've also decided to go B234 twin turbo (or single, not sure yet) but either way it's gonna be bloody fun. I've also developed some cheap at home adjustable rear shocks. Whereas you extend the shock to full length, compress a spring on each and with magic holding retainers it keeps the shock fully extended, which keeps that back as stiff as welded shocks. It's fun around the streets when the back jumps out over manhole covers and the like, but actually driving around town, and the back bounces over a catseye or something, she's a bit much of a handful.

Default Day 3193 I think??

So I have canned the dohc idea (can't be assed with it) and am trying to track down a 230 turbo of some kind. It has a 740 B200 in it which I was told would be a straight swap. I got to the point of changing the head where I thought "**** it" and it's been sitting in there for some time. Doing nothing. Getting sworn at.

It has 1.5"blocks in the back, black 17s with a chrome lip, and a golf front lip. I've managed to keep the black GLT trim on the sides aswell so it doesn't look bad at all. Other than that nothing has happened. No paint, no legality of any type, hell it only gets moved when I have to mow the lawns

I can't upload pictures as 360kb is a stupidly small limit (all of my pictures are around 3mb) but one day I'll remember to take a photo in a low enough quality to upload it.

My spare time (in between attempting to move house and 3 jobs) either goes on the 850R, S90 or the 855T5. My gorgeously immaculate 960 doesn't ever ask for anything. So the 360 is well in the back of the priorities list, which sucks, would've liked to have her over summer

What about going 16V N/A until you can sort out a turbo engine?
