well guys here is my non lude trackday car, bought for only£109 ebay special
nothing special but fun, 109bhp honda engine 170k mileage...............till it broke
So what engine to use instead

that'll do nicely!!
A few suspension tweeks, not polybushes, solid nylon
bit of wiring to sort out(still not quite all correct)
Looking better
what no drive shafts at Halfrauds!! oh well
Will it Stop??

they'll do.(where are they from Ammo

)
Still not quite sorted but very close.Short video, no exhaust

Nice once! And not a bad first buy at £1 per bhp
Did you fabricate your own engine mounts and did you do the driveshafts yourself as well?
Know this feeling all too well as well

yes nathan most of the work has been done by myself. The drive shafts i did the macining but got an expert to glue them together.Engine is JDM H22a, standard 5 speed g/box at the moment.
I have got 'spoon' copy chip for it once I can get it sorted. Am suffering with no Vtec at the moment
gear change plinth

Epic work + rep.
My mate had one of these rovers, a 1.8vvti, it had full leather, a glass targa top, it was emaculate! He recently sold it and could only get £300 for it

they're a lot of car for peanuts.

You'll certianly give people a shock once you get it on track after fitting the H22

Thanx for your comments guys. Glad that you have been supportive.
I have really enjoyed doing this conversion and have been at it 2years now. wish there was more time available.I have been asked a few times 'why bother?' my answer has always been 'Why not and because I can'
I will post some more on this when I can
