Haven't updated lately so heres where I'm at fellas

Finally sourced a used set of b16 driveshafts locally. All the japanese parts importers would only sell me new ones crooks. So picked up a set with halfshaft for 75 bucks and mated them to the minitec shafts



The motor being pieced together slowly as theres always odds and ends missing! Oil filter relocation to make things a little less messy on the backside of the engine. And because all those AN fittings and braided line are gonna look awsome



Stage 2 Competition Clutch and Exedy HF01 lightweight flywheel ready for some abuse

[TypeR_Mini]

Slapped the motor into the frame and got ready for the first test fit



And a quick mock up before some fender chopping with the plasma cutter



And after alot of trimming. She fits!








Frustrated about the intake manifold. I guess i will have to cut up the firewall and box it in.


Thats it for pictures. Ive found a used Wilwood pedal set for 65 bucks! And made another lovely order with Summitracing for some master cylinders. As of now I am back in debt lol so gonna hold off for a few weeks until the finances balance out and so that my GF (other source of debt) doesn't get too curious about why ive become so cheap when we go out hehe Cheers guys!
