Slowly things are moving along...very slowly. Life has been pretty busy, so the car has unfortunately taken a back seat to everything while I focus on other things. Hopefully now a bit of focus can be put back onto the race car and I can get it up and running!!
So the progress so far - A K20 has been purchased along with another gearbox that is in good condition. I think for now I will chuck that in and get it up and running, then while I am having a bit of fun in that I will purchase another engine that I will rebuild for forced induction and throw that in at a later stage.
Before I chuck in the engine though, I want to get the suspension sorted out. I am converting to 5x114 due to the massive amount of wheel choice I have in this stud pattern, especially in 17" which is what I will run. So while I do this, I will address everything and get it all 100%. So that means spherical bearings, and while browsing the net the other day I found FCS do a tubular front subframe. Not only will this save me about 20kg, but will allow for a lot more adjustment and replace everything in the front end with spherical bearings. Adjustment for camber was something that I was lacking before, so to get a bit more there would be awesome to get a bit more grip around the corners.
So hopefully I get that all sorted out in the next month or two, then get the engine in, sort out the brakes (thinking 6 pot Wilwoods at the front, and my current 4 pot Wilwoods to the rear), wire it all up and we are good to go.
